(those issues can occur due to the combination of old game and modern OS/hardware, cnc-ddraw helps to avoid those)
### Visual Studio setup
1. Run `Visual Studio 2019` or newer.
2. Clone and open the location with the source code using one of these two options:
* Click `Clone a repository`
* Enter `git@github.com:1dot13/source.git` or `https://github.com/1dot13/source.git` in the Repository location field, select the path you want to clone the repository to and click `Clone`.
* Double-click on `Folder View` in the `Solution Explorer`
* Click `Open a local folder`
* Use this option if you already cloned the repository yourself.
3. Visual Studio will automatically detect the CMake configuration files and will run the CMake generation. There will bet a CMake error in the logs saying `No existing preset was found, copied a preset template to [some_path]`. This is normal and only happens once.
4. Click on the dropdown that says `x64-Debug` and select `Manage configurations...`. This should trigger Visual Studio to load the `CMakeUserPresets.json` file it just copied. Now you can close the window for managing the configurations.
5. The `x64-Debug` option should have been replaced by `1dot13 Debug`. Click it and select `Manage configurations...` again. Here is where you configure the language for the built executables as well as which ones to build, Most important, here is where you set `CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` to the path to your JA2 1.13 installation. This will be used for debugging. Note that the path needs to have a working 1.13 installation, and that includes the 1.13 game data.
6. You can use `Build -> Build All` to build the executables you selected in the configuration.
