INF8601 Scratchpad

Demo and examples for the INF8601 course at Polytechnique Montréal.

Compile the sources

First, install the dependencies. On Ubuntu Linux:

apt-get install build-essential qtcreator qtbase5-dev libtbb-dev

Open the project file inf8601-scratchpad.pro with qtcreator. The build is a shadow build by default, meaning that the binaries are located outside the source directory.

Add example

Examples are defined as a subproject. They are numbered to keep them sorted.
