First steps

I want to start playing with this, how do I do that?

If on Windows, with Visual Studio 2019, follow these simple steps:

• clone the repo locally
• enter the folder and run the generate_projects.bat script
• in the projects folder, double-click dagger.vs2019.sln and open it in Visual Studio 2019
• try building and running!

If something seems off, look through this list, further down, in the Visual Studio section!

Platform-related

Can Dagger run on Windows XYZ?

We currently support Windows 7 and 10. All other Windows versions might work, but we have no guarantees.

Can Dagger run on non-Windows systems?

Yes. We have it running on a few instances of other systems, including MacOS and Ubuntu Linux.

However, we still don't have the proper steps to reproduce these setups, and more work is required.

Autocomplete is broken, underlining everything and the kitchen sink in red, but the project builds fine.
