The source files of this repository are multiple changes behind the last publicly available versions previously hosted on Bitbucket.

For example, here's input.cpp on the left compared to the Bitbucket release on the right:

Building the debug executable confirms this; menu items from the community-contributed November 2017 update, such as the level select, are missing from the main menu.

I emailed RWS about the source code issue last night, so I'm just now waiting for a response. Presumably from someone within who is aware of this GitHub repo.

If you're using Visual Studio 2015 or newer, you cannot build the codebase from this repo in its current state due to the aforementioned issues. For now you'll want to use the Bitbucket version instead.

I made a pull request that properly updates this repo to the one last found on Bitbucket before it went down. I'm waiting for it to be accepted.

Let's see if Mike J controls this account, will take a while. Pedro might try to get in or get someone who knows how to use GitHub to accept the pull request.
