I have had this book for years. I am finally digging into it. I am on the initialization chapter. Getting Visual Studio and git installed on the laptop.

I will see if the source code still works.

Anyone run into some surprises with it?

I am trying to get this to work in VS 2022 Community. It looks like it is finding everything, but I am getting this error.
Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'kernel32.lib' TeapotWars_2015 D:\Dev\Source\gamecode4-vs2017\Source\TeapotWars\Msvc\LINK

Seems like it can't find that library.

I fixed it. Pointed to the missing library.

Now, I am getting a bunch of unresolved external symbols.

Edit: Figured it out. Had to point to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.32.31326\lib\onecore\x86 not arm. Oops.

I got it to work. Definitely had to point to some libraries. I guess something changed with VS2022. I used the code that someone got to work with VS2017 on the forums.
