Creating a first SFML Project

In my last post, I provided videos to show you how to build SFML 2.0 from the source in Visual Studio or Code::Blocks. I also provided some general textual instructions for the same purpose.

Well today I present to you two more videos: this time on how to make a first project using SFML 2.0 in Visual Studio or Code::Blocks. This will include configuring search directories and adding libraries to the linker list, as well as compiling some sample code.

Following are some basic textual instruction on this process. It is split into three sections:

1. Visual Studio/Visual C++
2. Code::Blocks
3. General (this applies to both, and hopefully other IDEs too)
