Installing Qt

ScratchCPP Player needs Qt 6.6. Use the official Qt installer (you'll need a Qt account) to install it. Make sure to check the Qt Image Formats module and install MinGW in the installer.

Building (Qt Creator)

Clone the ScratchCPP Player repository. If you don't have git installed, you can use git for Windows or applications such as GitHub Desktop.

git clone https://github.com/scratchcpp/scratchcpp-player --recurse-submodules
cd scratchcpp-player

Open the CMakeLists.txt file in the cloned repository in Qt Creator and go to the Projects tab. Make sure your kit is enabled for the project.

Project kits

To reduce build time, disable unit tests (you might need them if you're going to contribute to the project). To do this, type unit into the Filter box and uncheck the SCRATCHCPP_PLAYER_BUILD_UNIT_TESTS option. Then click on the Run CMake button.

Disable unit tests

To build and run the application, click on the play button in the bottom left corner.
