c++ compilers
Author
Hi,
I am having touble locating some C++ compilers for Windows XP.
And I have googled it didn't help that much. So if some of you guys could provide me a good link that will help alot thanks.
Dev C++ is the best! Simple, so you won't be overwhelmed with useless options, and more powerful than most commercial compilers. Always download the latest beta version, cause it works with the most libraries(SDL, Allegro, DirectX9, Opengl, FMOD, etc.), unlike Visual C++, which complains if the code isn't "Microsoft managed". It's the best compiler for game dev out there! Anyway, I've never had a complaint with it!
PS. In case you haven't noticed, I LUV DEVC++!

Visual Studio Express

Seconding the Visual Studio Express recommendation as it is a great IDE with a great compiler. If it's too hefty for your tastes or if you like the GCC compiler, I'd recommend Code::Blocks for its IDE rather than Dev-C++.
I have tried Visual Studios Express but my trial expired so i decided to find something free.
Visual C++ Express doesn't expire. You just have to register (for free) within 30 days. You get some other free stuff just for registering, but none of it is memorable.
