 +* The Proton ArduboySim/win subdirectory contains the Visual C++ solution to open.  This is included with the main Proton distribution which you can get [[http://www.rtsoft.com/wiki/doku.php?id=proton:download|here]]. (What's Proton SDK?  It's kind of like SDL but you include all the .cpp files rather than use a library)

 By default I've included a slightly modified version of Arduboy's breakout example. To run it, open the Visual Studio project and compile the "Debug GL" or "Release GL" configuration. By default I've included a slightly modified version of Arduboy's breakout example.
