Create a new project
    Empty project
    Project name: Square
    I like to put all of my source code in a "Development" folder
    Leave Solution name blank
    Ensure the "Place solution and project in the same directory" box is checked

I usually just delete the default filters. They cause confusion because they're not one-to-one with the actual files on disk.
Instead, let's click "Show All Files" icon to work with the actual directory structure

In your project folder, create a "src", "include", "lib" and "bin" directory.

Right-click the src directory, Add -> New Item...

Call it "main.cpp"

```cpp
#include <cstdio>

#define UNUSED(x) ((void)(x))

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    printf("Hello youtube\n");
    UNUSED(getchar());
    return 0;
}
```

Open Project Settings and make the following changes:

Output directory:

    $(SolutionDir)bin\

Intermediate directory:

    $(SolutionDir)obj\

*NOTE* they MUST end with a slash!

Debugging -> Working Directory:

    $(ProjectDir)bin/

C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories:

    include

Linker -> Additional Library Directories:

    lib

extra credit options:

    Project properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor
        Down arrow -> Edit... paste "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" before "<different options>" (can also just add and type semi-colon manually)
    C/C++ -> General -> Warning Level
    C/C++ -> All Options -> C++ Language Standard
    Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General -> Automatically close the console when debugging stops
