• Number display, countdown timer, and GameOver animations.
• HighScore system in .bin file (HighScoreMaker).
• Fading, menu, and game states (MenuState, PlayState).
• Sound effects and music.
• Multi Platform (Windows, Linux).

• C++ Compiler

  • Windows: Visual Studio 2022 (MSVC) or MinGW
  • Linux: g++ or clang++

• CMake (>= 3.16) – used to generate the build system.

• Raylib – the game framework. Install depending on your OS (link).

Building and Running

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/BeagleBasset/Synth-Way.git
cd Synth-Way

2. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

mkdir -p out/build
cd out/build

3. Generate build files with CMake:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..

4. Build the project:

cmake --build . --config Release

5. The executable will be located in:

• Windows: out/build/Release/Synth-Way.exe

• Linux: out/build/Synth-Way

6. Run the game:

./Synth-Way      # Linux
Synth-Way.exe    # Windows

Note: High scores are automatically generated by HighScoreMaker during the build.

On Windows you can build using Visual Studio easily.
