FileSearch

A simple C++ application designed to explore file search mechanics and integrate them with a graphical user interface.

Motivation

This project was created out of curiosity and serves as a learning experiment to combine file system traversal algorithms with a responsive UI. It is primarily a personal project to test knowledge and practice C++ development.

Technologies

• C++: Core application logic.
• Dear ImGui: Immediate Mode Graphical User interface (with DX11 and Win32 bindings).
• vcpkg: C++ Library Manager for dependencies.
• Visual Studio: Project structure and build environment.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio (with C++ development tools)
• vcpkg integrated with Visual Studio

Build

1. Clone the repository.
2. Ensure vcpkg is set up to handle the imgui dependency as specified in the vcpkg.json.
3. Open FileSearch.slnx or the Visual Studio solution file in the root directory.
4. Build and run the app project.
