Setting up Visual Studio BlockOut2 Code ?

Hello.

I need help to set up this open source code ,
on Visual Studio 2013/2019 or any kind of online code website,
where I can adjust the code, compile it and try the game on my computer.

I have the C/C++ files here on GitHub.
https://github.com/jlivingstonsg/BlockOut2-original-bl25-src


It say here something about the installation.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/blockout/files/blockout/BlockOut%202.5/
-----------------
How to compile the source ?
===========================

- BlockOut II source can be donwloaded from sourceforge http:/sourceforge.net/projects/blockout

Windows:

- You need Microsoft VS2013
- Install SDL 1.2.15 development libraries (from http://www.libsdl.org)
- Install SDL Mixer 1.2.12 development libraries (from http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release-1.2.html)
- Set all appropriate include and lib paths in the project properties
(for ImageLib,SDL and SDL_Mixer)
- Set the working directory to the BlockOut project root
-------------------



To set up the code it say "CVS Access" on this link
https://sourceforge.net/p/blockout/code/
--------------------------
CVS is an old system for managing code. In order to access a CVS repository, you must install a CVS client.
---------------------------
CVS Access:
This CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following commands. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. See the names of the modules in this repository.

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at blockout.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/blockout co -P modulename
-------------------------------

Do you know what "CVS Access" mean, to set up the code?


Open source code:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/blockout/


This is the code game webpage:
http://www.blockout.net/blockout2/

Can you help me set it up in Visual Studio 2013/2019 or somewhere online, where it can be compiled?

Can somebody explain, step by step, how to setup this?
I have never user Visual Studio before and do not know anything about coding.

I play BlockOut a lot and just want to try to see if I can change the code so that it upload score to my server instead.
