Hey,

I've been on holiday for the last three weeks but whilst there I saw the newsfeed at the top of the forum that showed a new guide for Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.
Since I was on holiday at the time I didn't look at it but made a mental note to have a look when I got home. I'm home now but I can't find the guide anywhere.
Does anybody know where I can find it?

Also, for times like this and general news perusal, how about a forum change that would allow us to scroll through all the previous news items?

There is a guide here but it is horribly out of date!

Thanks

Thank you to both of you but it's not much use to none Steam users.
Any chance of a guide for the rest of us?

OK, I've just seen the link on Steam.
I was not expecting a price tag!
Surely this is something that should be in the guides section that I linked to above and available free of charge to any agk users.

If you have the Tier 2 Starters Guide that covers Visual Studio 2015, then you're all set because you will be using the same C++ code anyway and there is no template for Visual Studio 2017 yet.

I believe that, for AppGameKit developing purposes, Visual Studio 2017 is just a different editor with perhaps a slightly faster compiler. But the code you'll be using as an AppGameKit developer will be exactly the same because the AppGameKit commands should not depend on the Visual Studio version, just the templates. And, like I said, there is no windows 2017 template yet.
For these reasons, I would definitely stick to the Visual Studio 2015 IDE for now.
You can (re)download Visual Studio 2015:

Just make sure that you uninstall Visual Studio 2017 first (in case you have it installed). I did this yesterday and now I'm doing fine with Visual Studio 2015 with the 2015 template.

Hope that helps.
