"Rez" Graham, published by Charles River Media. 
ISBN-10: 1133776574 | ISBN-13: 978-1133776574

Getting Started
===============================================================================

Requirements:
  1. Visual Studio 2015 (and some knowledge on how to build, run, and debug C++/C# projects)
  2. Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010 or later) 
  3. The source code from Google Code - (TortoiseSVN is a good client to use!)
        svn checkout http://gamecode4.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gamecode4-read-only
  4. 3rdParty.zip from http://code.google.com/p/gamecode4/downloads/list
        Unzip it into the root directory of the project - it will add directories to 
        Source.
  
Building Teapot Wars:
  1. Make sure you can build a DirectX SDK sample and run it!
  2. Make sure your directory structure for GameCode4 looks like this:
          GameCode4
		  |-- Dev (some people also name this "trunk" it depends on how you set up SVN for this project)
                      |-- Assets (with Actors, Art, Audio, etc. - all of the source assets for TeapotWars)
                      |-- Extra (contains UtilityDemo, an AI playground)
                      |-- Game (contains the files needed to run TeapotWars)
                      |-- Source (the entire source tree, including GCC4\3rdParty directory from the ZIP file)
  3. Open Source\TeapotWars\Msvc\TeapotWars_2015.sln and rebuild everything.
  4. In the Solution Explorer in VS2015, right click on TeapotWars_2015 and....
      a. ...set it as your startup project. Then, right click on it again and...
	  b. open the Properties dialog, and...
	  c. set the Configuration to All Configurations and Platform to All Platforms, and...
	  d. Click on Configuration Properties->Debugging, and set the Working Directory to ..\..\..\Game
	  e. Hit OK
  5. Set the Target to Debug, and Platform to Win32 (up in toolbar beneath the menu)
  6. Select Build->Rebuild Solution from the menu.
  7. Run.

  IMPORTANT! If your machine does not support D3D11, you must edit Game\PlayerOptions.xml, and change
  renderer="Direct3D 11"  to renderer="Direct3D 9" 

Running TeapotWarsEditorApp_2015 project
  1. Make sure you ran Teapot Wars first!
  2. Right click on the project and set is as your startup project.
  3. Right click on the project and select Properties.
  4. In the Properties window, select the Debug tab, and set the Working Directory to the "Game" directory.
  5. Run.
