How to Build

CMake (recommended)

1. Install CMake 3.22+ and a C++23-compatible compiler.
2. Configure the project:

   cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64

3. Build all targets (engine + sandbox):

   cmake --build build --config Debug

4. Run the sandbox executable from: build/Sandbox/Debug/BoltSandbox.exe

Optional: disable sandbox target when you only want the engine library:

cmake -S . -B build -DBOLT_BUILD_SANDBOX=OFF
