## 2.1 Prerequisites
- Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8
- RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
- Visual Studio 2013 / Visual Studio Express 2013
- SDL2 development library for Visual C++.
- Visual Studio 2013 (paid) / [Visual Studio Express 2013](http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#d-express-windows-desktop) (free)
- [SDL2 development library for Visual C++](http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.3-VC.zip).
## 2.2 Compiling and running
1. Checkout the repository.
2. Download SDL2 development library for Visual C++ and copy it to a directory called "sdl" in the repository. This directory should contain "include".
3. Open the solution in projects directory.
4. In *rct2.c*, ```GAME_PATH``` can be edited to reflect your RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 installation. (Registry keys and original executable are not required)
5. Select the 'Release' configuration and click Build -> Rebuild Solution.
6. Start debugging. If warned about *openrct2.exe* not having debug information, just continue.
1. Checkout the repository. This can be done using [GitHub Windows](https://windows.github.com/) or [other tools](https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use).
2. Download [SDL2 development library for Visual C++]((http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.3-VC.zip)) and copy it to a new directory called "sdl" in the repository. This directory should contain "include". The path should be something like ```\GitHub\OpenRCT2\sdl\include\```.
3. Open the solution in the projects directory (**openrct2.vcxproj**) with Visual C++.
4. In *rct2.c*, ```GAME_PATH``` can be edited to reflect your RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 installation. Each slash needs to be marked twice, like this: ```C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GOGcom\\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2\\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack```. Existing registry keys and the original RCT2 executable are not required.
5. [Select the 'Release' configuration](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wx0123s5.aspx) and click Build -> Rebuild Solution. The dropdown menu to enable the 'release' configuration is towards the top of the VS Express window, near the "TEST" menu.
6. Start debugging. Press the "Local Windows Debugger" button with a green "play" icon next to it. If warned about *openrct2.exe* not having debug information, just continue.
7. If the game crashes, you may need to press the red, square button along the top of VS Express (for "stop") to stop the program.
