Solution 1

Your best bet is to add the code to a C++ project in Visual Studio, hit compile, and then work out the bugs that pop up. On the other hand, converting from C++ to C# is not a trivial task as they are completely different languages and rely on completely different libraries.

You do have a possible third choice, which is to compile your Turbo C++ into a DLL, then call the needed functions from C# via PInvoke[^].

Solution 2

With a basic understanding of the C++ (and C#) language. Turbo C++ code is C++ after all, albeit ancient. However, if the original code makes intense use of Turbo C++ libraries (like the BGI) then it could be possibly easier to re-write the application from scratch.
