How to set SFML up for VS and not per project
« on: May 20, 2022, 07:59:30 pm »
So when i want to create an SFML project, I have to setup all the locations of the files and modules and its a pain because I like creating a lot of different projects to test things out and learn so for example I will make an SFML project where i just play around with time and getting familiar with SFML's time interface, and maybe another where i practice with loading textures and fonts etc, I dont want to have to keep creating projects and setting all this up each time, is there a way I can set it up once and then when i create a project i can just start using SFML right away? I could have sworn that this feature was available in an older VS but maybe im thinking of code blocks. any help would be appreciated. I'm using VS 2022 btw.

Don't know about 2022 but in Visual Studio 2019, I created a base SFML project and then I chose "Export template" from "Project" in the main menu.
Afterwards when I create a new project I can chose to use this as a template.
