Migrate existing Dev-C++ project to Visual Studio 2015

[Edelweise]

Hello. I have this project of a game made with Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2. Since Dev-C++ is way too old and harder for me to program on i have decided to migrate the project for Visual Studio 2015. The project is using additional libraries such as SDL, SDL_Image, SDL_ttf, libcurl, etc ... I have watched some tutorials how to add SDL, SDL_image, etc. to Visual Studio 2015, but no matter what i try it always fail. I am not that experienced in C++ and i don't know what happens. This game project is open source and it comes with instant compile kit which is archive containing Dev-C++ and all the projects inside (server, client). All you have to do is download it, run Dev-C++ included in the archive, open the project (e.g client) and compile it, that's it! Everything is already included and ready. All i want is someone more experience to take a look in the project and migrate it to VS2015 for me (if possible). If someone want to help me, simply answer this thread and i will give you the source code to migrate (in this case i only want to migrate the client). Thank you.

Just a brief comment for anyone using DevC++
Remember the latest version is Orwell DevC++ , currently at version Version 5.11.

It was being regularly updated, but the most recent update was April 2015 - not so long ago, but it may be falling behind in terms of bug fixes and compiler upgrades.

Sorry this doesn't help with regard to Visual Studio and the other parts of your question.

Thanks for the answer @Chervil, but the fact that DevC++ is outdated is not the only reason that i want to switch to VS2015. The main reason why i want to switch to VS2015 is cause it's just easier to work with. You have auto code completion, error detection, etc, etc ... It's just better for us - the noobs :)
