ugh I'm so sorry, I just can't get it to build (MacOS), for some reason it just can't find the SDL framework headers :/

Hi I tried to get it to make on macos but got this error ```src/graphics.hpp:5:10: fatal error: 'SDL2/SDL_image.h' file not found ``` tag me in a comment here if you know what to do and I might be able to try it again.

@fabdynamic You probably need to install the libsdl2-image-dev package (that's what it's called in Debian, may be slightly differently named on other distributions).

I downloaded the code from github and (after installing the sdl2 and sdl2-image packages) got it to start building. But it tried to link libSDL2_Image, which was named libSDL2_image (no capital i) on my system. After that change, it runs.

I like the idea of the game; I also immediately thought of radioactivity with this theme. I didn't get very far with it though, because it seemed to be quite unstable (which is great for the theme, but not so much for playability ;-) ) For example, forgetting to add a number to a command made it crash. It would also have helped if there were coordinates on screen.

But don't get me wrong: it's a cool idea and it's great that you got it finished in time! That's something to be proud of. :-)

@freeworld you may need to install SDL2 and SDL2_Image. And sorry for late reply.
