1. Open the scorched project file, scorched.sln (you must download the source first Download_Source_Code)

Double click on the scorched.sln file in the root directory of the source code.

2. Choose either "Debug" or "Release" (should be considered the default option) from the drop down at the top of the page for the Solution Configuration. Performance will be much improved using the Release option.
