c++ is annoying
Author
also, it seems like there isn't enough information on how to make games with dev-c++. everyone seems to be using msvc++ and i can't afford msvc++.
I am really not experianced in c++, but I know that there are some books out there that teach you (step-by-step) how to make a game engine using c++ (e.g. Beginnning Game Programming by Michael Morrison).

Microsoft has released MSVC .NET 2003's optimizing compiler as a free download as well MSVC .NET 2005 Express Edition is available for a free download for the next year. (The free download lasts a year, you can use it as long as you want.)

argh! i can't download that compiler because of network problems.
You can't download the installer, or the installer can't download the components it needs when it runs?

c++ works the same on many compilers.
the difference is (mainly) in the setup.
the things you have to change are libraries to link to, mainly. in visualc++ these are listed in the source. in dev-cpp you have to set them in project options.
c++ takes a lot more setup and getting used to but i think you'll find any language that comes close to it's power and flexibilty will require the same...
