This readme is so that I don't forget how to set this up when I format my PC or something similar.

Building

In .vscode/tasks.json, there are the following tasks:

• MakeBinDir - this creates the output directory for the exe
• CopyDlls - copies the necessary DLLs (SDL, assimp etc.) so that the program starts
• Build - build the exe

In case this file gets losed or something, the contents are

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "MakeBinDir",
            "type": "shell",
            "windows": {

                "isDefault": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

Generating bindings

To generate bindings, simply run scripts/generate_bindings.exe !!! THIS HAS TO BE DONE FROM THE src directory!!!.

Sadly, the binding generator doesn't recognize #ifdefs, so when generating a binding for a stb-like directory, one has to temporary delete all the implementation after the if-guard so the generator doesn't complain.

Building dependencies

To build dependencies, run python build_dependencies.py (again, mind the directory). There's are clang++.exe and llvm-ar.exe bundled, they can be extracted from scripts/llvm.zip.
