Welcome to the Stride source code repository!

Stride is an open-source C# game engine for realistic rendering and VR. The engine is highly modular and aims at giving game makers more flexibility in their development. Stride comes with an editor that allows you to create and manage the content of your games or applications visually and intuitively.

1. Latest Git with Large File Support selected in the setup on the components dialog.
2. Visual Studio 2019 with the following workloads:

• .NET desktop development with .NET Framework 4.7.2 targeting pack
• Desktop development with C++ with
  • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0) or later version (should be enabled by default)
  • MSVC v142 - VS2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.23) or later version (should be enabled by default)
  • MSVC v142 - VS2019 C++ x64/x86 Spectre-mitigated libs (v14.23) or later version (should be enabled by default)
• .NET Core cross-platform development
• Optional (to target UWP): Universal Windows Platform development with
  • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0) or later version
  • MSVC v142 - VS2019 C++ ARM build tools (v14.23) or later version (should be enabled by default)
  • MSVC v142 - VS2019 C++ ARM Spectre-mitigated libs (v14.23) or later version (should be enabled by default)
• Optional (to target iOS/Android): Mobile development with .NET and Android SDK setup (API level 27) individual component, then in Visual Studio go to Tools > Android > Android SDK Manager and install NDK (version 19+) from Tools tab.

3. FBX SDK 2019.0 VS2015

1. Open a command prompt, point it to a directory and clone Stride to it: git clone https://github.com/stride3d/stride.git
2. Open <StrideDir>\build\Stride.sln with Visual Studio 2019 and build Stride.GameStudio (it should be the default startup project) or run it from VS's toolbar.

• Optionally, open and build Stride.Android.sln, Stride.iOS.sln, etc.

If building failed:

• If you skipped one of the Prerequisites thinking that you already have the latest version, update to the latest anyway just to be sure.
• Visual Studio might have issues properly building if an outdated version of 2017 is present alongside 2019. If you want to keep VS 2017 make sure that it is up to date and that you are building Stride through VS 2019.
• Some changes might require a system reboot, try that if you haven't yet.

Do note that test solutions might fail but it should not prevent you from building Stride.GameStudio.
