Getting Started

Clone or Download this git

Building

you will need to install devkitpro and copy this source to a folder E.g. Desktop/switch_sdl_pong-master

From Msys2 Terminal :

cd [PATH TO SOURCE FOLDER] E.g. cd ~/Desktop/switch_sdl_pong-master

make

Once Compiled you will have a file in your switch_sdl_pong-master folder called switch_sdl_pong-master.nro rename this file switch_sdl_pong.nro

Insert your Switch SD Card and make a new folder inside of the switch folder called switch_sdl_pong

copy the switch_sdl_pong.nro to the same directory it shoul look like this SD:/switch/switch_sdl_pong/switch_sdl_pong.nro

You can now reinset your sd card into the switch and run it
