- Use Linux branch for linux, should work great
- Use master branch for Windows might crash randomly if it's feeling quirky
- I'm using g++ to compile (C++ 14 or higher).
- Python 3 (I'm using 3.10)
- pygame
- pexpect
Compile using .\compile.bat inside parakeet/src if you want and and run using .\run.bat. Alternatively, just run parakeet.exe in parakeet/bin.
Compile using .\compile.bat inside parakeet/parakeet-gui if you want and run using .\run.bat.
Keep in mind the GUI is a little buggy and may randomly decide not to work.
