The samples marked as "WIP" state are not functional.<br/>Trying to test them for now is useless.
+
Here is a list of sample programs included with '''MSXgl''' to illustrate how to use the library’s various features and functions.
 +
To test a sample program, follow these steps:
 +
# Open a command-line interface in the <tt>MSXgl/projects/samples/</tt> directory.
 +
# Run one of the following commands, depending on your operating system:
 +
#* <tt>build.bat s_game</tt> (Windows)
 +
#* <tt>./build.sh s_game</tt> (Linux & macOS)
  
== Samples ==
+
Replace <tt>s_game</tt> with the name of the sample you wish to test (there’s no need to include the <tt>.c</tt> file extension).
  
=== Core ===
+
<u>Note:</u> Sample programs use a configuration system that overwrites the default project settings (<tt>project_config.js</tt>) with a sample-specific configuration file (e.g., <tt>s_game.js</tt>). This approach allows multiple projects to coexist in the same directory without conflicts.

For standalone projects, this step is unnecessary. To learn how to set up your own project from scratch, see [[Create my first program|this guide]].

Here is a list of sample programs included with MSXgl to illustrate how to use the library’s various features and functions. To test a sample program, follow these steps:

  1. Open a command-line interface in the MSXgl/projects/samples/ directory.
  2. Run one of the following commands, depending on your operating system:
    • build.bat s_game (Windows)
    • ./build.sh s_game (Linux & macOS)

Replace s_game with the name of the sample you wish to test (there’s no need to include the .c file extension).

Note: Sample programs use a configuration system that overwrites the default project settings (project_config.js) with a sample-specific configuration file (e.g., s_game.js). This approach allows multiple projects to coexist in the same directory without conflicts.

For standalone projects, this step is unnecessary. To learn how to set up your own project from scratch, see this guide.
