I have downloaded BlitzPlus from GITHUB, got the whole BlitzPlus source on my Windows10 PC

now what?

I clicked on BB launch and Windows 10 says "what program do you want to open this with?" and offered me Paint

BlitzBasic Demo in W10 displays in Firefox but none of the "click here" works, they just do not link to anything

I just found this in the READ Me

Steps to build:

1) Install freeimage241 into same dir as blitzplus: http://monkeycoder.co.nz/downloads/freeimage241.zip

2) Install fmodapi375win into same dir as blitzplus: http://www.fmod.org/files/public/fmodapi375win.zip

3) Open blitzplus workspace in MSVC 6.0.

4) Build project 'bblaunch' using config 'Win32 Release'.

5) Build project 'blitzplus' using config 'Win32 Debug'.

6) Output files should end up in _release subdir.

7) Also copy fmodapi375win/api/fmod.dll to _release/bin.

so I need to do these steps I guess

If it will be harder for you to build it with MSVC 6.0, Another option is to just download Ploppy's MSVC 2010/2013 version. Just a warning because some have failed and I can't remember if I also successfully build that vc60.

Here's the thread:

You still need the dependencies though and same steps :-)

Edit: or just download the binaries here I forgot to mention, sorry.
