SFML

This method will require you to install some packages. In Visual Studio, and Project, select 'Manage Nuget Packages'.

Click the browse tab and type:

'sfml'

Now look for the version numbers, each version has a slightly different name. I have found:

SFML has 5 different components, so click each one and click install.

Creating A Window

The code below will create a window, and also provides a loop to keep the window open and to check for window events:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
	sf::RenderWindow window{{ 800, 800 }, "Window Title"};
	window.setFramerateLimit(60);

	while (window.isOpen())
	{
		sf::Event event;
		while (window.pollEvent(event))
		{
			if (event.type == sf:: Event::Closed)
			{
				window.close();
			}
		}
		window.clear();
		window.display();
	}
}
