I can't make up a puzzle. I meet names like Visual C 15 (here for example: https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.5.1/). But other sources say that the last version to the moment is 14.31 (wikipedia stays with them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_C++). It's also gets challenging for me at the moment to check out the version myself. So there are three questions:
- What is Visual C 15 (is it compiler version or something like language dialectic specification) and if it's not a compiler version, so what is it?
- Is there any relationship between VS version and version (or a model) of it's built-in C compiler?
- Which version of VS should I use to successfully use SFML?
Thanks!

The Visual C 15, that you mention here, is in fact Visual Studio version 15(aka Visual Studio 2017). It isn't a compiler version but in fact a version of the IDE.
There is no relation with VS versions directly with C standards. But it's more like, some versions of C can only be supported on the latest VS versions. for e.g.. C 20 is only supported on Visual studio 2022. C 11/C 14/C 17 is supported in Visual studio 2019 and higher.
For SMFL, it just says any C compiler but I would honestly suggest Visual Studio 2017 or higher.
