No core, game or system folders and files missing in solution. help!

Hi,

I've made a new project, built it with profile -p all and did configure -p game to get a game_vc140.sln

I've been trying to follow this tutorial and this one and this one to make an empty component, shouldn't be too hard, right? Tutorial 1, 2 and 3 are slightly out of date but I read somewhere that in 1.12.0.0 the code folder is now in [projectname]/gem/code/source so it should have been fine. However, it is missing the stdAfx files which are in tutorial 2 and also missing the core, game and system folders that appear in tutorial 1 and 3. Now where is the [projectname]game.cpp file that used to be in the core folder??

Attached is a photo of my solution. Why am I missing so many files? Also, when I tried to create a component folder and put a file in it like in tutorial 1 but instead of the code folder to the [projectname]/gem/code/source folder it added the file in the solution explorer to not under source/component, but under the test 1 project next to the test1_auto_0.cpp in the photo. Why??

Has the way solutions are made in 1.12 changed so much from 1.11 (tutorial 2)? If so, can someone point me to where the files that used to be under core, system and game are now so that I can finally make myself an empty component!

Thanks in advance for any help
