Building the Project

Prerequisites

• CMake (version 3.15 or higher)
• A C++ compiler that supports C++17
• Git (optional, only needed if you want to clone the repository)

Build Instructions

1. Clone the repository (if you haven't already):

git clone https://github.com/Razamindset/indus-dragon
cd indus-dragon

2. Create a build directory and copy the network file into it then move into build

mkdir build
cd build

3. Build the executable. Note: U can also specify build type. By default it is release that is optimized and faster. U can also use debug mode but it will be very slow only recomended for debugging.

cmake .. && make

The executable will be created in the directory make sure the network file is present before running the engine

Running the Engine

./indus-dragon

⚠️ Important Notice ⚠️

The engine is constantly changing and improving. It is very possible that a single commit improves or breaks something. As small parameters to different stratigies can change the overall output. We expect u to share your suggestions and findings with us.
