VC++ 6.0 or VC++.net?

tordyvel · 2002-09-12T02:58:18

Should I buy VC++ 6.0 or VC++.net if I want to make games? Is VC++.net just a newer version or is there something tricky about it? Is C# any good or will it never have any future in game development? Thanks!

Actually C# and C++ use the same app, just different compilers.

Yes, ...

    if ( you buy VS.NET Professional or better)  return true;else  return false;

I just wanted to say with "VC#.net is a differtet app then VC++.net" that C++ and C# are two different programming languages.

So that you can pay only for the stuff you really need?

I have a question about VC++.NET.

Does it work on XP Home? I''ve heard that people have had trouble with it when using XP Home.

Thanks!

It does work, BESIDES the web development part. VS.NET relies on IIS for web development, and this is absent in XP Home.

From comparing the bullet item features, it seems to me that the $100 version of VC++.NET does not optimize the code as well as the C++ in Visual Studio.NET does. So be careful. So far, I''ve assumed that C++ code compiled with VC++ 6.0 will generally run faster than VC++.Net.

If I''m wrong and if VC++.NET does generate code as fast as VC++ 6.0, let me know and I''ll be at the store tomorrow with my $100.
