Install instructions for not experienced people about antsimulator

[johnBuffer]

Hi,
If you are on Windows, you can try this link https://github.com/johnBuffer/AntSimulator/releases/download/v1.2/AntsSimulator.zip
I just added it under the video.

For arch you will need to install SFML with pacman (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/sfml/) and build the project with cmake. Are you familiar with this process ?

[johnBuffer]

I will add an installation guide to the readme soon

[charan-nunnabhatla]

[locxeu]

[johnBuffer]

Will look into this, g++ and msvc don't behave the same regarding this.

[johnBuffer]

Should be better now
