+Prerequisites:
+- Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or later (Express/Community Edition is sufficient)
+- SFML (include and lib path have to be set in Visual Studio)
+- gltext.h (can be downloaded here: http://www.opengl.org/registry/api/glext.h)
+
+To build the installer, you'll also need WiX.
+
+Building:
+Start the solution, choose configuration and press F7/Build. If you are not using Visual Studio 2015, you will need to change platform toolset in the project settings.
+
+Configurations:
+The solution provides basically 4 configurations: Debug and Release for both x64 an x86 (Win32). While the x64 is configured to build against v140 toolset, the x86 solution builds against v140_xp toolset to enable Windows XP support. All configurations link runtime dynamically, so users have to have the Visual C++ Redistributable package installed. It should get installed automatically if you are using the installer.
