Using Visual Studio

1. Start up Visual Studio and select "Open a local folder"
2. Open up the project root directory (the directory with CMakeLists.txt)
3. Edit the cache variables in CMakePresets.json for your desired build configuration

...
"cacheVariables": {
	"CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Release/Debug",
	"SDL_LIB_PATH": "/My/Path/To/SDL3.lib",
	"SDL_DLL_PATH": "/My/Path/To/SDL3.dll",
	"SDL_INCLUDE_PATH": "/My/Path/To/SDL3/include",
