Setup SDL2 with CMake and Visual Studio (Game Development)

In this video we create a new CMake project using Visual Studio and work with it directly within Visual Studio, without producing a VS project or solution. We then use find_package to add SDL2 as a 3rd party library and link to it in order to compile our sample SDL2 application. We use SDL_CreateWindow to setup a window and SDL_CreateRenderer to setup the renderer.
