Quickstart

1. Download the tutorials https://github.com/harfang3d/tutorials-hg2 and unzip them to your computer (eg. d:/tutorials-hg2).

2. To compile the tutorial resources, download assetc for your platform: https://www.harfang3d.com/releases/3.0.0/

3. Drag and drop the tutorial resources folder on the `assetc executable -OR- execute assetc passing it the path to the tutorial resources folder (eg. assetc d:/tutorials-hg2/resources).

After the compilation process finishes, you should see a resources_compiled folder next to the resources folder. You can now execute the tutorials from the folder you unzipped them to.

D:\tutorials-hg2>python draw_lines.py

Alternatively you can open the tutorial folder and run the provided debug targets using Visual Studio Code
