How to make this work?

This thing works with either HGE clone from here https://github.com/kvakvs/hge or original HGE 1.8.1 located at http://hge.relishgames.com

  1. Checkout HGE source from github.com/kvakvs/hge
  2. Build HGE
  3. Configure CMakeLists.txt of HGE_Skeleton to have correct path to the HGE directory. It will be used to find include and link files.
  4. Ensure you have recent copy of HGE.dll and BASS.dll in your bin/

To create solution file, run one of BAT files attached. You can also run CMake to support some other IDE, see what it can do: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#section_Generators (CLion IDE supports CMakeLists and does not need any BAT files to be executed).
