The Powder Toy

Hi i followed this tutorial https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Compiling_tpt%2B%2B_with_Visual_studio.html

as it couldn't get the scons one to work. I was just trying to compile the source code without altering it to test if it works but i get these errors:

I don't know what i have done wrong and i have used both the premade project and manual setup following the steps carefully.

I haven't updated the guide ever since upgrading to sdl2. When I have time I'll update the guide, for now you'll need to edit the project configuration to use sdl2 instead of sdl

Did you run generator.py?

Also I just checked some of the settings I used, these are the libraries that need to be included under linker -> input, if they aren't already:
winmm.lib
imm32.lib
version.lib
nevermind on those libraries, that only applies to static builds. It's probably just the generator.py thing

And under VC++ Directories, be sure includes/SDL2 is included. It probably is if you got that far

I updated the wiki guide with a new link to the premade project.

https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Compiling_tpt%2B%2B_with_Visual_studio.html

Please download the new premade project, it has sdl2 support and fixes some issues with the last version of the project.
You'll still need to install python and run generator.py, though
