Once you've coded some stuff, you must consult the wiki for compiling guides. To get a final working executable you can run, you need to compile the source code and convert it into the executable. -
im using VS [visual studio] becuase the wiki told mee to use it
yea but how do i do that?

I'm assuming you either used the premade project, or followed the guide to set it up for yourself. In either of these cases, just go into the build menu at the top and select build solution. You will find your executable in the \build directory.

on visual studio, open up the solution, and look at the top where the toolbar is (file, edit, view, etc.) One of these will say build. The top entry in this menu is "build solution".
-
but where is the solution
-
the file you downloaded, the premade solution.
Not to come across as rude here, but what changes have you made which you now want to compile to test? Have you used visual studio before? You just seem to be a little unsure on some things and if that is the case, I'm not convinced coding for the powder toy is the best way to start...
