+Code::Blocks allows you to save projects as an template for other (new projects). This page is about setting up the example plugin template.
+## Setting up a plugin template.
+The Wii U Plugin also provides an example Code::Blocks project which can be used as a template.   
+It can be found in the following directory of this repository:  
+`ide_templates\codeblocks`  
+The directory contains a project file (`windows_template.cbp`), a example source file (`src/main.cpp`) and a default Makefile (`Makefile`).
+Once you've opened the project in Code::Blocks, make sure you can compile it. Press `Ctrl + F11` to call `make clean && make`. You can also do `right click -> Rebuild` on the project.  
+
+If everything was setup correctly, you should see this in the console:
+``` Bash
+Running command: make -j8
+main.cpp
+linking ... output.elf
+checking for missing symbols ...
+linking ... /g/Programmieren/WiiUPluginSystem/ide_templates/codeblocks/codeblocks.mod
+```
+
+Now you are ready to save it as an user template. To do this, click on `File -> Save project as template` and enter an template name.
