So having dl’d a project through the library, for example the PlatformerGame project. Obviously there’s cpp and h files in the project directory but how can I load it in VS as a coherent project? I’d like to step through the functionality and check definitions/declarations - but loading up individual .h and .cpp files doesn’t really allow for that.

Thanks for your help!

Answer: add any c++ class from the editor and it will create an sln file in the project dir!

I think you can also just right-click the uproject file → Generate Visual Studio files.
