Status

Usage

In the root directory use make or make build to compile the program. This will create a ./pong executable in the root directory of the project.

• To run the program, use either make run or ./pong on the root directory of the project.
• To remove the program, use make clean or just rm ./pong.
• If you feel like doing a manual compile. You can use g++ src/main.cpp src/Player.cpp src/Ball.cpp -lncurses -o pong.

You may need to install ncurses depending on what kind of system you're using.

• To install ncurses on a Debian based machine use sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev.
• To install ncurses on OS X use brew install homebrew/dupes/ncurses. Of course, this will require brew to install.

• W - Move up

Player 2

Troubleshooting

I'm saving this section for later, trust me. Something's gonna come up and I just want to be prepared.

If you have an issue with compiling or have found a bug in the game. Take a look in the Issues section to see if the problem has been solved already. If it's not, feel free to add the issue. If it's big, it'll be posted in this troubleshooting section to help out other users.
