Load, Compile and Run a Sample Application

Sample Application - Life
Click the IDE Window menu and at the bottom of the drop down menu, click More Windows ...

A popup form will appear, scroll down the list of projects until you find life\win 32\life.exe. Select this and click the OK button.

You'll see a list of all the project source code files and resource files. Click on this window and hit the F5 key. That will make the project. Now click the running man icon (it's the 7th icon) and the application will run. It's another version of the Game of Life that I featured in my blog.

That finishes this tutorial but feel free to load up the remaining samples and try them out.

When you're ready start the C Tutorial.
