Installing SDL2

Install SDL2 fully on your machine

1. MacOS
   1. Run brew install gcc
   2. Run brew install sdl2
   3. Run brew install sdl2_image
   4. Run brew install sdl2_mixer
   5. Run brew install sdl2_ttf
   6. Add the following to your ~/.bash_profile: export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
   7. Run source ~/.bash_profile
2. Windows (assuming Rust installed through rustup)
   1. Download the SDL2-devel-2.0.16-VC.zip
   2. Download the SDL2_image-devel-2.0.5-VC.zip
   3. Download the SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.4-VC.zip
   4. Download the SDL2_ttf-devel-2.0.15-VC.zip
   5. Locate your install of rustup. Mine was C:\Users\{username}\.rustup
   6. Navigate to roughly the following path: C:\Users\{username}\.rustup\toolchains\{current_toolchain}\lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib where current_toolchain will likely be the most recently modified folder with the name stable in it
      1. I think the process is similar for those who have rust installed through different means. Basing off of the https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2 repo, the folder path might be C:\Program Files\Rust\lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib though I cannot confirm.
   7. Add the path found in vi to your environment variables like so that the variable name is LIBRARY_PATH
   8. From each .zip, navigate roughly to {file name}\lib\x64 and copy all contents into the path mentioned in vi
   9. Copy these files found within their respective .zips (SDL2.dll, SDL2_image.dll, SDL2_mixer.dll, and SDL2_ttf.dll) to your project folder placed in the same location as Cargo.toml (From what I can tell, this needs to be done every time you want to utilize SDL2)
3. Linux
   1. Furthering from the instructions found on the rust-sdl2 repo, you may need to install the following packages: libsdl2-image-dev, libsdl2-mixer-dev, and libsdl2-ttf-dev

Building and Running
