# VSCode SFML C++ Project Setup
This is a simple SFML C++ project running with vs code that can be built and run on both Linux and Windows using Visual Studio Code.
## Prerequisites
- Visual Studio Code: [Download and install Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download)
- SFML Library:
- Linux: Install SFML using your package manager. Example for Debian-based systems:
```
sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev
```
or (depends on which linux)
```
sudo dnf -y install SFML
```
- might need few tweaking
- Windows: Download and install SFML from [the official SFML website](https://www.sfml-dev.org/download.php)
- GCC 13.1.0 MinGW (DW2) - `32-bit`
or
- GCC 13.1.0 MinGW (SEH) - `64-bit`
> dont messup check (64 or 32) bit properly
- Extract the downloaded file and place it where ever you want remember the path
## Setting up MinGW on Windows
1. Install MinGW w64 (for Windows) using [mingw-w64.org](https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/#mingw-builds).
- **Tarballs** for the mingw-w64 sources are hosted on SourceForge.
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/mingw-w64/mingw-w64-release/
3. Add the MinGW w64 bin directory to your system's PATH variable.
- Example PATH addition: `C:\mingw-w64\mingw64\bin` (adjust the path based on your installation).
- want's to know the difference between [ming's 😄 link to repo](https://github.com/ullaskunder3/cpp-setup-vsCode#setup)
## Setting up C++ on linux
- Linux: Ensure you have GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) installed. Run the following commands to check the version and path:
```
g++ --version
which g++
```
```bash
[dxlord.🐼] master (main)$ g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 13.2.1 20231205 (Red Hat 13.2.1-6)
Copyright (C) 2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[dxlord.🐼] master (main)$ which g++
/usr/bin/g++
```
>see it's too much that's why I use linux
## Getting Started
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/ullaskunder3/sfml-vscode-soultion.git
cd
```
2. Open the project in Visual Studio Code.
3. Install the required extensions: C/C++
4. Configure IntelliSense:
- Open `.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json` and update the paths for Windows/Linux users.
- After checking path properly update it
## Building and Running
Pressing `Ctrl+Shift+B` or running **Tasks: Run Task** from the global Terminal menu show the following picker pick **Run C++ program with SFML**
watch the program execute and run at the same time automatically

## Troubleshooting
- If you encounter any issues, ensure that you have the required dependencies installed and that the paths in `.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json` are correct.
- For Windows users, make sure to update the paths in `.vscode/c_cpp_properties.json` with the correct MinGW or Visual Studio installation paths.
- let me know if still need help
