// To compile on Windows

// Install GLFW 3.3.8
// https://www.glfw.org/download.html
// On Windows:
// extract the downloaded .zip file to "C:/libs"; this is currently expected
// by our CMakeLists.txt.

// Install CMake
// https://cmake.org/download
// Add to PATH for all users
// from project root:
// mkdir build
// cd build
// cmake ..
// cmake --build .
// The last step compiles the executable - this can also be done from Visual
// Studio

// To run in VS
// Set startup project in Solution Explorer
// Press F5 to run
//
// To compile on Arch Linux
//
// Install dependencies
// sudo pacman -S glfw mesa glew
//
// Build
// cmake ..
// cmake --build .
