I know this is a simple question, but I'm a bit puzzled about this. How would I import other .cpp files for use in my code? And better yet, how do I call the code from the files?

What I have tried:

Googling and unsuccessful documentation

Is this new files you have written elsewhere, or new .cpp/.hpp to be included, basically the same right click the project and select add existing or add new

do not understand "call the code from the files"

I would start with the tutorials on how to build using Visual Studio - see C++ development with Visual Studio | Microsoft Learn[^]. In particluar see the sections on creating projects & solutions.

If you are not using Visual Studio then you will have to add the CPP to the MSBuild project file - see Use MSBuild - MSBuild | Microsoft Learn[^]

Copy the files into your Project directory. Then in Solution Explorer, right click on the "Source Files" filter and click on the "Add Existing Item" link. Repeat (if required) for Header and Resource files.
