From the README

A compact Galaga-like arcade shooter implemented in C++ using SDL2 and CMake.

This README describes how to build and run the project on Linux and Windows, required dependencies, and common troubleshooting tips.

If your keyboard layout differs, controls can be remapped by editing the source (search for input handling in src/).

Do not remove or rename files in the assets/ tree unless you change the code paths accordingly.
