Compilers

[Xerxes]

Could someone point me to an okay, free C++ compiler, please? I've tried using Google but it keeps turning up with crappy, old, or expensive ones. I need to learn how to program and get a compiler to program with so I can make-a my dream game...

Dev-C++ is a GUI which compiles using gcc. Totally free and easy of use.

If you'd prefer mingw compilers (some things, like ODE, come with precompiled mingw things, that aren't compatible with gcc. I had trouble with it until I used this compiler), try Code::Blocks. Google Code::Blocks and you'll get a link.

Thanks, yo. I'm gonna go google that right now!

If you only plan to compile on windows, i would sugest MSVC++ Express.
If you want to build for other platforms + windows i would suggest Code::Blocks
