Example file structure of the solution/repository

All projects can be contained in the same solution in order to easily switch between them. All projects must be contained in a subfolder to stay organized.

wildfire                  # repo folder
├── main                  # subfolder/category
│   ├── Smokey            # project folder

Creating the solution for the first time

  1. Clone this repository. The repository root folder will also be the Visual Studio solution root folder.
    1. git clone https://github.com/hattas/wildfire
  2. Select File > Create new project from existing code.
  3. Set the project file location to the location of the clone repository.
  4. Set the project name to the main solution name, whatever you want (WildfireSolution).
  5. Uncheck add files to the project...
  6. Click finish.
  7. Add existing projects as described below.

Creating a new project from scratch

  1. Create a new empty project (Ctrl+Shift+N).
  2. Select "Add to solution".
  3. Add the appropriate subfolder to the end of the Location, e.g. \demo.

Creating a new project from existing files in the repository

This method sucks but it's the only way.

  1. Change the name of the folder with the project you want to add.
  2. Create a new project from scratch with the old folder name as the project name.
  3. Copy the source files from the renamed folder into the new project.
  4. Delete the renamed folder.
