Build Instructions:

For Mac Users (Recommend to build with VSCode)

Download CMake

https://cmake.org/download/

Execute below shell script in terminal

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

For Windows Users

Header files and dependencies are compatible with Mac OS, however, these have not been tested with Windows platform. A prebuilt dependency for Windows is provided compatible with VS 2022. If any build error occurs, make sure you download the correct version of pre-compiled library for GLFW and assimp. Modify CMakeLists.txt when necessary.

Download CMake
Download GLFW pre-compiled library for Windows
1. Extract the glfw3.lib file to the /lib folder
2. Replace the files in /include/GLFW with corresponding extracted files

https://www.glfw.org/download

Download assimp library
1. Extract the pre-compiled .lib file to the /lib folder
2. Replace the files in /include/assimp with corresponding extracted files
Execute below shell script in terminal

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

Style Guidance:

Function Name: Either Lower Camel Case or using '_'
Class Name: Upper Camel Case
Avoid using namespace std in global scope;(Instead use "using std::vector;" in your own function!)
Using standard libraries(e.g. smart pointers) properly for safety. (RAII design is better)
Avoid nested if-else, using if return instead.(nested if-elses code may be substitude by switch-cases code, which runs much faster)
Using nullptr instead of NULL
Using "" to include self-defined headers and libraries in directory /lib , < > for system libraries.
Using const as often as possible
Using range based query for simplicity
