Does anyone use Dev C++ here?
i use Dev-C++ 4 for general programming.
If you want real game programming I think you''d better use
MSVC++.

Hi,
I started with Dev-C++. But there are a few problems with its.
* Its for beginners.
* Slow, a little bit.
But, never the less, its very very good for the beginners. But if you want to pofessionally create applictions then I recommend MVC++. Why??
Since its all Microsoft Windows, C++ etc etc.
I ... am ... the GAME!!!

Unfortunetly, this may have a hint of truth in the Windows centric world. Everything in that culture is targeted at MSVC, so it would be easier to just give in. However, there''s still nothing stopping you from using Dev C++ if you''re willing to use Google for a couple minutes to download the libraries you''d need to use (DirectX, SDL, whatever).

Neither of those are true. Dev C++ uses an older version of GCC, which is one of the best compilers around in standards compliance (even that older version is better than MSVC 6), optimization, and in other such ''serious'' ways. The IDE may have its issues, but GCC is in no way a bad choice for a compiler.

That doesn''t make any sense. I can see what you might have been getting at (what Pipo was saying), but you stated it poorly.
I use Dev-C++ 4. I can''t wait for 5 to get out of beta development. It looks pretty cool so far, but it dies too much for me to actually do anything useful with it.
I use Dev-C++ 4.9.2.0; I''m only using it until I can buy VC++ .NET, which should be soon, hopefully. I don''t hate Dev-C++, but it is really buggy. Can you guys figure out how the compiler works?

Yes, the IDE has problems.

Didn''t I already tell everyone that didn''t know that Dev C++ relies on an older version of GCC
? GCC is an independent open source (GPL) project. I use GCC just fine without Dev C++ (autoconf and make work fine), you can do the same if you want to.

<sarcasm>Yes, obviously you can''t do real game programming in Dev-c++, since gcc isn''t a real compiler.</sarcasm>
I''m using Dev-C++, Only a beginner, so there''s plenty I haven''t tried to do with it yet, but I haven''t come across anything drastically bad with it yet (haven''t tried windows programming with it, so maybe that''s where all the bugs are?)
Anyway, my only complaint with it at this stage (and it is rather important I guess), is that it doesn''t seem to give compiler warnings... there are no problems picking up fatal errors etc. but it doesn''t warn you about redundant code, things like that - which from a beginners point of view would be very handy to see.
Oh well, it''s free and can get you started - I''ll definitely keep using it for a while yet.
