• Install an IDE. (The team developed the game on Clion (Ubuntu) and/or visual studio (Windows))
• External Library Required: SFML: SFML provides a simple interface to the various components of PC, to ease the development of games and multimedia applications. It is composed of five modules: system, window, graphics, audio and network. In the project, graphics and audio were used.
• Installation and integration of SFML
• run the following command on terminal:
• sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev
• The CMakeList.txt needs to be written accordingly. i.e: target_link_libraries(Dr_PacMan ${})
• First of all download SFML Library that your system of IDE easily correspond and work properly with it.
• Downloaded library must matches the version of your IDE e.g. visual studio etc.
• Now unpack your SFML .
• We first need to tell compiler where to find the SFML Header (.hpp files) and SFML libraries (.lib files).
• Next step is to link your application to SFML libraries that your code will need.
• Libraries must be added in project's properties, in Linker >>input >>additional dependencies.
• Only add those libraries that you need.
• If you want to directly add SFML into your executable, you must link to the static version. In this case you will also need to define SFML_STATIC macro in preprocessor options of your project .

• Run the code in the IDE.
