ASCIIBoardGame_Engine

This respository contains software for creating a tui in c++. It is specially designed to create board games since it has a board widget, but it could be used for other purposes as well. Look at the repository's documentation either in the docs folder or under deployments located on the right column. Examples are provided in the examples folder.

Windows

Build ASCII_Board_Game_Engine as a dll and link to your project. Also build the build_board_config and validate_board_config binaries. For the build to succeed, make sure msbuild is installed on your system and add msbuild.exe to your path environment variable. Then the build can be completed by running:

If you would prefer to not build everything, binaries are available in releases.
