Steps to create a new project in open-frameworks

a) Copy the folder inside of apps and paste in the same directory ( i.e. (copy
"emptyExample" and paste "copy of emptyExample" )
b) Rename the folder, and inside the folder, rename the .vcproj and .sln
i.e., rename emptyExample.vcproj to coolExample.vcproj
c) Open the .vcproj file with a text editor. change the occurrences of the
old name to the new name

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<VisualStudioProject
ProjectType="Visual C++"
Version="9.00"
Name="emptyExample"
ProjectGUID="{7FD42DF7-442E-479A-BA76-D0022F99702A}"
RootNamespace="emptyExample"

For example, if I copied emptyexample and wanted to call it "coolExample"

would look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<VisualStudioProject
ProjectType="Visual C++"
Version="9.00"
Name="coolExample"
ProjectGUID="{7FD42DF7-442E-479A-BA76-D0022F99702A}"
RootNamespace="coolExample"

In the solution file, change the name of .vcproj file:

Project ("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "emptyExample",

"emptyExample.vcproj", "{7FD42DF7-442E-479A-BA76-D0022F99702A}"
ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject
{5837595D-ACA9-485C-8E76-729040CE4B0B} = {5837595D-ACA9-485C-8E76-
729040CE4B0B}
EndProjectSection
EndProject

To whatever you've renamed the vcproj to:

Project ("{8BC9CEB8-8B4A-11D0-8D11-00A0C91BC942}") = "coolExample",

"coolExample.vcproj", "{7FD42DF7-442E-479A-BA76-D0022F99702A}"
ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject
{5837595D-ACA9-485C-8E76-729040CE4B0B} = {5837595D-ACA9-485C-8E76-
729040CE4B0B}
EndProjectSection
EndProject
