Hi,

I'm in a bit of a pickle. Long story short was assigned a last-minute senior project to do before I graduate (from HS), and I decided to translate an open source game since I'm mildly interested in software and game localization. However, this turned out to be a very bad idea as I know next to nothing about programming, and have had trouble compiling the game source. I asked all my programmer friends to help, but they couldn't figure it out. I also can't seem to find any tutorials for completely clueless people like me on how to compile and run open source games.

Can anyone please post a very layman-friendly guide for me on how to compile this game in Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or Devcpp? The game in question is Project: Starfighter (http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/starfighter.php). There's the source code and a makefile included in the download on the site.

Any help ASAP is very, very much appretiated. Thank you so much.
