+ACTION BOOGALOO SOURCE CODE
+
+
+
+How to build it:
+
+1. You need Visual Studio 2010 Express. You also need Git. TortoiseGit will do. You then need to download the Source SDK Base 2007 from Steam.
+2. Use TortoiseGit to download the source to your hard drive.
+3. Make sure that you have the latest testing build installed in \source\steamapps\sourcemods\actionboogaloo
+4. Open the project file.
+5. Right click on "Client SDK" and tell it "Set startup project". This specifies which project in your solution that Visual Studio will try to run when you hit F5. 
+6. Right click "Client SDK" and go to properties. Then go to "Debugging" Set "Configuration" (at the top) to "Debug" Set the following variables:
+
+Command: C:\Steam\steamapps\yourusername\source sdk base 2007\hl2.exe
+Command arguments: -allowdebug -dev -sw -game "C:\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\actionboogaloo"
+Working directory: C:\Steam\steamapps\yourusername\source sdk base 2007
+
+You may need to modify these to point to your Steam directory.
+7. Verify that the "Custom build step" also points to your correct Steam directory.
+8. Right click on "Solution" in the Solution explorer and choose "Configuration Manager" and set that to "Debug"
+9. Press F7 to build it. This takes a while.
+10. Press F5 to run it.
+
+Hopefully everything will work and you will be in the debugger running the game. Load up a map and have at it.
