Building (Visual Studio 2017)

NOTE: Currently this is the only build option available.

The repo contains a Solution file "DRAK-0.sln" and the folder "DRAK-0" contains the actual project "DRAK-0.vcxproj" and its resources. This is done in case additional apps are created to go along with DRAK-0.

You should just be able to build and run it. Easy peasy. :)
