For the second assignment you can either pick one of the two provided specifications or come up with your own.
Yes, you are free to come up with a topic for the second assignment.
However, doing so requires you to put together a specification similar to the ones provided and get my approval.
The specification doesn't have to be bulletproof.
But it must contain a bullet list of goals (with points to score) at the bottom which can be checked / evaluated.
You can also adjust one of the provided specifications.

Feel free to ask me about other libraries / tools.

Your application should work on Linux and Windows unless there is a specific reason why it cannot be cross-platform.
For Linux, assume a recent version of Ubuntu Desktop and that the required dependencies are installed via the system's package manager.
Use the corresponding CMake `find_package` mechanism to find them, it is recommended to leverage [`pkgconf`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPkgConfig.html).
For Windows you can simply ship pre-built libraries that are picked up by CMake automatically.

You must use [CMake](https://cmake.org/) as build system.

Use [ClangFormat](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) to automatically format your code using the provided [`.clang-format`](../.clang-format) configuration.
