Install instructions

The game should not require any dependencies outside of OpenGL (for which drivers exist on most builds of Windows). If for whatever reason it does not launch, the source code is available on GitHub at: https://github.com/10aded/sliding-puzzle-in-zig and can be built from scratch using a Zig 0.14.0-dev compiler.

The game was created from scratch in Zig / zig-gamedev libraries from the GitHub repo linked above. As such, only a Zig 0.14.0-dev compiler, and the GitHub project are needed to build the project.
