Win 32 Vs Console (C++)
Author
I''v stared to write a game in console but i think that it may be a waste of time if i can just skip console and go stright into Win32. What are the differences of the code? could i use what i allready have and transfare it across to a Win32 platform with minimal tweaks or would i have to completely start over?
Thx in advance
I thought the same thing...but I went and got a taste of Win32 and it isn't so hard. Everything goes around C++ mainly...learn the basics in a Console App and then move on... ;-)
And do like I am...never start a project and not finish it...im still playing with this TicTacToe game. I need to figure out a way to get the AI working correctly...

could i still use the code that i allready have in console in a win32 ap cause i been working on it for 2 days, 38hrs work and 4hrs sleep 
Hehe, you sound like me...once I start something I don''t wanna peel myself away from the PC until its finished. I have had about 6 hrs sleep and still can''t get this Tic-Tac-Toe AI to work correctly. But Win32 is way different than a Console. Win32 is for programming a Windows environment.
Example of how they are different:
WinMain --for Win32
main() --for a console

Before moving on to anything, be sure that you know structures, pointers etc...
You can''t fairly say that console and windows programming is in any way similar.

You need a lot more to make a simple "Hello, world!" program in Win32 than in C++

What do you mean by that?
The console that you see in windows is not actually dos, it's just a 32-bit text shell for windows. While it may not look like it, a console application under (modern) windows is actually still a Win32 application.
