What's this? ============ This is a platform scroller (somewhat similar to Super Mario with few differences) game skeleton to use with HGE library, which does very basic functions and leaves lot of placeholder functions for you to code your very own side-scroller game. 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 This thing will require compiled HGE.DLL and HGE.LIB, or, if you go further and want to build it from source, you will need either DirectX 8 SDK or DirectX 9 SDK from Microsoft website, and the source of HGE library. I (the author) was nice and put the compiled DLL and LIB for you to try the game right out of the box, but you can go ahead and replace them at any time. 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
