[SOLVED] How can I compile Phys2D.net? (C# project)

[KIAaze]

I would like to try out the examples of Phys2D.net: http://physics2d.googlepages.com/

Unfortunately, it doesn't come with any kind of readme explaining how to build it (or I missed it). There are some .sln and .csproj files, but I have no idea how to use them.

My attempts at opening/importing the projects into monodevelop have all failed so far.

Note: I have no experience in C#, but I do have experience with C and C++.
The reason I want to be able to run it, is to figure out the algorithm used to calculate shapes from images and test its speed.

check the sticky for how to compile C# code if you can get the source...but it might not work because it could use the .NET framework (even thought that seems to be tagged on most C# things i see even if it doesnt use .NET...)

Ok, I must have messed something up during my first compilation attempts, because now I managed to compile it without any errors using the .sln file at the root from a clean extract...

However, now I get errors when running it:

[9][~/Desktop/Physics2D.Net/Physics2DDemo/bin/Debug]$ ./Physics2DDemo.exe
Welcome to the Physics2D.Net Demo
In the demo pressing the number keys or W-O will load different demos.
Left Clicking will allow you to pick objects up.
Middle clicking on the screen will launch a projectile where you click.
Right clicking and holding will shoot out particles where you click.
holding M will place 3 rotating rays that shoot out particles on impact.
The left and right arrow keys will move the tank.
SpaceBar will fire the tanks cannon.
In the upper left corner a small colored box will appear.
If it is green then the engine has too little to do and is skipping a timestep
If it is red then the engine has too much to do.
P or Pause will pause the simulation.
Press Enter To Start
