Installation

1. Install Dependencies:

   Ensure you have installed all necessary dependencies for your platform. For detailed instructions, refer to the Raylib documentation.

2. Update System Environment Variables:

   Add the following path to your system environment variables:

   C:\raylib\w64devkit\bin

3. Navigate to Source Directory:

   Open a terminal and navigate to the following path:

   C:\raylib\raylib\src

4. Compile Raylib:

   In the terminal, run the following command:

   mingw32-make PLATFORM=PLATFORM_DESKTOP

5. Locate Compiled Library:

   After the command executes successfully, a new file named libraylib.a will be created.

6. Replace Existing Library:

   Copy the newly created libraylib.a file and replace the existing libraylib.a file in the lib folder within your project directory.

7. Create Makefile:

   # List of source files
   SOURCES = ./src/fivevar.cpp ./src/fourvar.cpp ./src/grid.cpp ./src/kmapsolver.cpp ./src/main.cpp ./src/threevar.cpp ./src/twovar.cpp ./src/http_request.cpp
   
   # List of object files (replace .cpp with .o)
   OBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)
   
   # Include directory for your headers
   INCLUDE_DIRS_PROJECT = include/
   INCLUDE_DIRS_CURL = C:/curl/include
   
   # Library directories for linking
   LIB_DIRS_PROJECT = lib/
   LIB_DIRS_CURL = C:/curl/lib
   
   # Compiler and linker flags
   CXXFLAGS = -g -O1 -Wall -Wno-missing-braces -I $(INCLUDE_DIRS_CURL) -I $(INCLUDE_DIRS_PROJECT)
   LDFLAGS = -L $(LIB_DIRS_CURL) -L $(LIB_DIRS_PROJECT) -lraylib -lopengl32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm -lcurl
   REMOVE_TERMINAL_FLAGS = -Wl,--subsystem,windows
   
   # Output executable
   TARGET = kmap.exe
   
   # Default target
   default: $(TARGET)
      ./$(TARGET)
   
   # Link the target executable
   $(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
      g++ $^ -o $@  my.res $(LDFLAGS) $(REMOVE_TERMINAL_FLAGS)
   
   # Compile source files to object files
   %.o: %.cpp
      g++ $(CXXFLAGS) -c $< -o $@
   
   # Clean up build files
   clean:
      rm -f $(OBJECTS) $(TARGET)

8. Run the Program:

   To compile and run the program, execute the following command in the terminal:

   make

Usage

Click on the cells in the K-Map Grid to flip between 0 and 1. After configuring your K-Map, click the "Calculate" button to compute the minterms. The "Visualize" option allows you to see the K-Map Expression using logic gates.
