- Add a light of selected type with "="
- Switch cursor mode with TAB. You can :
- Place on hovered cube (default)
- Place at a fixed distance from camera (you can change distance with CTRL + scroll)
- Move cursor cube by cube with "z", "q", "s", "d", "w" and "x"
- Extrude with "l"
- Dig with "m"
- Reload shader with F5
- Export image with CTRL + "s"
- Move backward with CTRL + "z"

To learn more about how to use CMake, vector-of-bools has a great series of videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aiV7Z9NRhk&list=PLK6MXr8gasrGmIiSuVQXpfFuE1uPT615s&index=5 Since I'm a nice guy (but only towards those who use Windows and Visual Studio) here are a few more explanations :
First make sure you have CMake 3.8 or higher installed : https://cmake.org/download/
Then add a 'build' folder inside 'IMACUBES', go into that folder and open a command prompt (to do so you can simply select the filepath, replace it by 'cmd' and press enter !)
Then you just have to type this in the command prompt :
cmake ..
(btw you will have to type the same command each time you add a file/folder to the project to regenerate the CMakeCache and the solution)
It should automatically generate the visual studio solution and all it needs. You can now double-clic on 'IMACUBES.sln' and the project will open in Visual Studio.
Now right-click on IMACUBES and select 'Set as StartUp Project'. Finally click on that lovely green triangle and you're done ! The project should build and execute just fine 😉
