# Developer Guide - Creating a PALib/Woopsi Project

There are two assumptions that we need to make before setting up a Woopsi project:

- You have installed devKitPro
- You have installed PALib

The installation of these two applications falls outside the scope of this manual.

Once you have these two programs installed:

- Create a new DS project in your IDE
- Open the Woopsi folder that you previously unarchived in the installation step
- Navigate through the hierarchy until you find the "source" folder
- Drag the contents of the folder (excluding the "main.cpp" file) to the source folder of your new project
- If you are using VC++, drag the "data" folder from the Woopsi folder into your new project, replacing the existing folder
- If you are using Visual HAM, drag the "bitmap"folder from the Woopsi "source" folder into your new project's "source" folder
- Add the following include to the top of your "main.cpp" file:

      #include "woopsiheaders.h"

Your Woopsi project is now set up and ready to go.
