Building and Running

Using CMake (recommended)

1. Create and enter a build directory:

   mkdir build
   cd build

2. Generate build files and compile the project:

   cmake ..
   cmake --build .

3. Run the program from the project root:

   cd ..
   ./build/bin/chess

4. After making changes, rebuild and run with:

   cmake --build build && ./build/bin/chess

Building with g++ / clang++

If you prefer to compile manually, run:

clang++ src/*.cpp -I/opt/homebrew/include -L/opt/homebrew/lib \
-lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -std=c++17 -o chess

Then execute:

./chess
