How to

Setup

Windows
Currently Mahasona Engine comes with Visual C++ 2010 and 2008 solutions(Both libraries and Examples).

To build the libraries
you need to install nvidia physx sdk 2.8.xx (3.0 not tested)
Download it from Nvidia website. You need to create a account and have to wait for the activation.
http://developer.nvidia.com/physx-downloads
Then create a environment variable PHYSX_DIR with value C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA PhysX SDK\v2.8.4_win\ Bin\win32 (where ever it points in your machine)

To run example
Download and install Nvdia Physx system software(This may be almost installed in your machine if you are a hardcore gamer)
copy all dlls comes with physx sdk to the example bin folder. (or add to system path)
ex - C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA PhysX SDK\v2.8.4_win\ Bin\win32

Also need to copy the dlls in Mahasona\dependencies\bin\x..
