This is the repo for the Let's Get Thready: Multithreading with Qt course on Qt Academy.
- Navigate to the 00-Start folder and open the
CMakeLists.txtfile with Qt Creator. You will be greeted with theRaycasterapplication used as a basis within the course. - We will use 00-Start as a basis for multiple exercises throughout the course, so it would be useful to keep a clean version on-hand!
To get started with this project, you will need to have an IDE such as Qt Creator installed on your computer. You can download Qt Creator from the Qt.io website.
Once you have Qt Creator installed, open the 00-Start folder in Qt Creator. You can do this by opening Qt Creator selecting File > Open File or Project, and then navigating to the folder.
Running the Application
To run the application, simply build and run the project in Qt Creator. The application will launch and you will see a window with a red sphere. Try resizing the window and identifying what issues we have.
