Using SplashKit

Here is a basic overview of how to compile and run SplashKit programs in C++, C# and python.

C++

To compile C++ SplashKit code, you will use the following command (assuming the code file is named program.cpp):

clang++ program.cpp -l SplashKit -o test_program

Or:

g++ program.cpp -l SplashKit -o test_program

Then you can run the program with:

./test_program

Or, if using MSYS2 (MINGW64):

./test_program.exe

With ‘skm’

You can also compile your C++ code using the following command:

skm clang++ program.cpp -o test_program

Or:

skm g++ program.cpp -o test_program

C#

To run C# SplashKit code with dotnet, you will need to first run the command below:

dotnet add package SplashKit

This will add the SplashKit NuGet package, to link the SplashKit SDK to your project.

Then you can run the program using:

dotnet run

With ‘skm’

You can also build and run your C# code using the following command:

skm dotnet run

Python

To run SplashKit python code, you will use the following command (assuming the code file is named program.py):

python3 program.py

With ‘skm’

You can also run your Python code using the following command:

skm python3 program.py
