- in windows .dll files for SDL_TTF were not copied to output due to typo
resulted in no output at all (e.g. not even printf in main)
- in linux library is called SDL_ttf instead of SDL2_ttf
resulted in undefined reference to `TTF_Init' etc
Development of the game Snake++ using C, C++ and SDK2 for the Software Engineering course as part of our studies.
