I just compiled the bog standard template 64 bit version in VS2017 in release mode gave me some erros in core.cpp. Do they matter? Will they be fixed?

You mentioned VS2017 - I think there was a generally bug in 2017 (not agk) of which cannot be used on 2017 until this is fixed by microsoft.

From what i understand anyway

whether thats the case these days i dont know.others (Paul) maybe able to clarify

You are getting warnings because the argument passed to the TranslateKey() function is defined as a WPARAM type, but the function expects an unsigned int. The reason why it "works" now is that when core.cpp is compiled to object code, it is not compiled again until core.cpp gets modified again. Try clicking on Build->Rebuild Solution from the menu and you will see the warnings pop back up. Since WPARAM is just typedef as an unsigned int anyway, the warnings can be safely ignored.

Cool, glad you've found these useful!

Regarding the warnings, they don't matter in this case so you can ignore them. If they annoy you, or you want to compile with warnings as errors, you can just make the casts explicit on the lines mentioned in the warnings.

You're right that there was a bug that held up the AppGameKit VS2017 release but that's resolved now so the current version of AppGameKit includes the 2017 templates.

You are right, the error came back, good to know that previously compiled files won't get compiled again unless modified I am learning C++ at the moment, I am going through http://www.learncpp.com

That is just a warning and not an error.
