Need help to get started.I would appreciate any help I can get on the following questions, any suggestions you guys have would be greatly appreciated as hopefully I will have some stuff being drawn and moving around the screen by tonight
First of all I need a free C++ programing environment, I am used to the Blitz+ IDE, which ones are the best, I will mainly be using C++ to write gfx demos for windows. Where should I get started? My initial objective is pretty simple, I want to get a scrolling message program working with my own bitmap fonts, I am not looking for anyone to code it for me but I need some help in finding tutorials for double buffering, opening a window for graphic output, general syntax and drawing graphics. Thanks |

I'm just downloading DEVC from Bloodshed, it seems to be what I am looking for.
What do you guys think on using libraries like allegro for gfx stuff? |

hehe. I have never used allegro, but it seems pretty extensive. dev-cpp is definitely a smart way to go though... __________________

Well I've managed to get started, it's not a lot more than a hello world program at the moment, this compiles to over 500kb though somehow, this seems massive for what it does, any tips to reduce it to say a few bytes?
Thanks, Nick. CPP / C++ / C Code:
