Can someone take a look at this project, getting linker errors, I've done everything to fix

User 11260559

Basically code is from previous project my tutor helped me develop unfortunately I can no longer contact him, but I'm working on similar project which I did a simple object that moves around on screen, I pasted a pre-existing Direct X tool kit that my teacher gave me and imported it in as a project and did the linker with my other project but it's giving me the linker errors. Please kindly fix this there's no coding errors, also if possible please explain with screenshots what was wrong so I would remember for next time, thank you. http://www.megafileupload.com/9c1m/P2BallGamev2.zip

No. Please at least post these "linker errors" of which you speak. Plus which compiler, OS, etc. you are using.

From the first line, it looks you need the DirectXTK[^]. I see no prebuilt binaries there, probably you have to build it yourself from the sources.

Correct, I built it myself, can you show me or guide me on how to build it?, I need the simplemath.h files also included.

I would read the provided 'documentation', that is the Readme.txt file.
