Development setup

Prerequisites

• Bazel 5.4.0
• Go 1.20.2
• Gcc 11.3.0

Used libraries:

• Google Test
• ImGui-SFML
• ImGui
• ImFileBrowser
• SFML
• spdlog

Ubuntu

1. Install Bazel 5.4.0. Installation instructions can be found here.
2. Open your terminal and install the following dependencies

$ sudo apt install bazel libgl-dev freeglut3-dev libopenal1

3. Install the needed protoc 21.6 - build it then add the built binary (bin file) to your PATH environment.
4. Install the following protobuf dependencies for Go. Position your terminal in the Server folder and execute the following:

$ go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go
$ go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc

Windows

1. Install Bazel 5.4.0. Installation instructions can be found here.

2. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 19 - Community edition environment. Not sure about other MSVC version.

3. Install the needed protobuf generator

4. Install the following protobuf dependencies for Go. Position your terminal in the Server folder and execute the following:

$ go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go
$ go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc

NOTE: Debug mode should work fine in both cases

Generating server files

In order to successfully launch the server, you need to generate the gRPC files from the ProtoMessages/server folder. Make sure you have installed the environment successfully. Navigate to the root of the project in your terminal and do the following:

$ protoc --go_out=Server --go-grpc_out=Server ProtoMessages/server/*.proto
