Setup

Make sure you've installed Python 3.7 64 bit. During installation:
- Select "Add Python to PATH"
- Make sure pip is included in the installation
Clone this repository by running: git clone https://github.com/kipje13/CPPExampleBot.git --recursive
Ensure that rlbot is installed on python by running rlbot/run.bat. You can shut it down again if it works.
Make sure you have CMake. If you don't have it, visit https://cmake.org/download/ and run the Windows win64-x64 Installer. During installation:
- Add CMake to PATH (single user or all users doesn't matter).

Visual Studio Setup

Visual Studio is a common choice of code editor, continue with these steps if you want to use it.

If you've just installed python and/or cmake, reboot!
Download Visual Studio from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/.
In a command prompt (use a fresh one if you just installed cmake), navigate to the folder and run cmake .
Open Visual Studio and open the .sln file which now exists in the folder.
Confirm that Build->Build Solution works.
Right click on CPPExampleBot in the solution explorer and choose 'Set as StartUp Project'
Start a match by executing rlbot/run.bat
Choose Debug->Start Debugging (or F5), or press the green play button in Visual Studio.
Open up examplebot.cc and start changing stuff! Visual Studio has a restart button you can press (or Ctrl+Shift+F5) when you want to recompile and try your new changes.
