Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C++ compiler (e.g., g++, clang++)
• Raylib library files (download from Raylib GitHub)

   Visit Raylib GitHub and follow the instructions to download and build Raylib for your platform.

   • For Linux (example):

     sudo apt-get install libraylib-dev

     Or see detailed instructions: Raylib Wiki - Building on GNU/Linux

   • For Windows or macOS, follow platform-specific instructions in the Raylib repo.

3. Compile the code:
   Make sure Raylib's include and library files are available to your compiler.

   g++ -o hitTheball main.cpp -lraylib
