To run the project, do the following:

1.	Be using the Windows 10 operating system (Windows 11 might work, but I have not tested it)
2.	Ensure you have CMAKE installed and added to the system path on your computer.
3.	Ensure you have Visual Studio 2022 installed with the C++ workload.


If the above are all as stated, perform the following steps:

1.	When you pulled this repo from git, ensure that you used git clone --recurse-submodules <repository-url>  (otherwise, the assimp submodule will not be included)
2.	In the Solution Directory, navigate to dep/assimp
3.	In the “assimp” directory, open a bash terminal and type “cmake CMakeLists.txt” an push enter.
4.	Then type “cmake --build .” and push enter again. This will set up the assimp submodule.
5.	Now double-click the visual studio solution file in the solution directory “zenditeEngineV2.sln” to open it in Visual Studio 2022.
6.	Press F5 to build and run.



Controls:

W, A, S and D => Move flycam around the scene.

Q and E => Hover Up and Down.

C => Unlock mouse pointer (Which enables the user to use the mouse on the GUI)

V => Lock mouse pointer to game window (Nouse will now control camera view direction)

L and K => Toggle wireframe mode on and off.
