+## How to Use

+1. Follow the above instructions about how to use GitHub's project template feature to create your own project.
+1. Open [CMakeLists.txt](CMakeLists.txt). Rename the project and the executable to whatever name you want. The project and executable names don't have to match.

+    ```
+    sudo apt install libsfml-dev
+    ```
+    On macOS
+    ```
+    brew install sfml
+    ```
+1. Change the source files listed in [`add_executable`](CMakeLists.txt#L6) to match the source files your project requires.
+1. Configure and build your project.
+
+   On Linux or macOS, run these commands from the root directory of your project.
+    ```cmake
+    cmake -B build
+    cmake --build build
+    ```
+
+    Alternatively, use [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) with its [CMake extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/cmake-linux) on any OS.
+1. Enjoy!
