The following link takes you to the Sourceforge Download page. Download the latest "deployment.zip" file and run "game.sln". If you have already installed Visual Studio 2005 or the Express Edition with the windows package, you do not have to configure any project settings. In case you have not installed a compiler, have a look at Concepts, Definitions and Setup.
The game-template is a ready to start project. So, if you want to do any programming on your own, and do not want
to care about project settings and libraries, start here. The project is called "game" and can be found in the
project view of the solution.
The tutorials are short examples to show you some basics. Take them as reference or copy-paste code snippets you
my find useful.
There is only one project settings that has to be set. It is the "Set Working Directory" option. You need this, to
tell the compiler, where to find the database in debug mode. The game needs the "exec_game" directory and the
tutorials need the "exec_tutorials" directory to be set.
