Setting up SDL2 for development on Windows with MSYS2 and VS Code

Hello! I made this document for anyone trying to setup an enviroment for SDL2 on Windows using VS Code for building and debugging.

This is just a basic setup to test everything works and compiles correctly. This is adapted from this guide by Adam Richardson, made to work with the UCRT enviroment.

So, let's get to it.

Download and install MSYS2 64bit

How to add more to Git Bash on Windows

Git for Windows comes bundled with the "Git Bash" terminal which is incredibly handy for unix-like commands on a windows machine. It is missing a few standard linux utilities, but it is easy to add ones that have a windows binary available.

The basic idea is that C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ is your / directory according to Git Bash (note: depending on how you installed it, the directory might be different. from the start menu, right click on the Git Bash icon and open file location. It might be something like C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Git, the mingw64 in this directory is your root. Find it by using pwd -W). If you go to that directory, you will find the typical linux root folder structure (bin, etc, lib and so on).

If you are missing a utility, such as wget, track down a binary for windows and copy the files to the corresponding directories. Sometimes the windows binary have funny prefixes, so

Steps for Hosting a Website on GitHub

Create a GitHub account on github.com.
Download either [GitHub for Mac][1] or [GitHub for Windows][2], depending on your operating system. Open the app and log in using the account you just created.
(On Mac): After you login, click advanced and make sure that your name and email are correct. Then, click "Install Command Line Tools", just in case you want to start using the command line later in life.
Create a new repository in your GitHub application. Name it your-username.github.io. The name is very important. Note the folder that GitHub is saving the repository to. Make sure the "Push to GitHub?" box is checked.
Move your website's files into the folder that GitHub just created when you made the repository. IMPORTANT: Your homepage HTML file must be called "index.html", and it must exist in the top-level
