Pong

Overview

This is a project aimed at exploring the SDL 2 library and core game mechanics like event loops and timers.

Initial setup

Because this repository contains LFS objects, it cannot be used as a regular Github template. Thus, there are two options for getting started:

• If you want to keep this repo's history, clone it, create a new remote repo, and switch the upstream remote:
  • git clone https://github.com/tpstevens/NathanPong.git [optional-path]
  • cd <path-to-cloned-repo>
  • Create a new empty repo (on Github or another host of your choice). Copy the URL (https://something/something.git).
  • git remote remove origin
  • git remote add origin <new-repo-URL>
  • git push --set-upstream origin master
• If you don't care to keep this repo's history:
  • Download the archive
  • Extract it (in a new repo or existing repo)
  • Commit and push
