Re: [Dev-C++] some more to Graphics

[<ste...@ge...>]

Wow... 8-)
Well, I have started downloding the newest version of dev-dpp right this =
instant. Last time at used it I only managed to compile simple =
console-programs which wrote a stupid message or somthin'. As soon as I =
bagan to compile bigger programs, it seemed as if the commands should be =
wrote different from what I used to do in Turbo C++ 3.0. Well, should =
they be more or less the same? I really would like to get started on som =
game-programming for windows! Isn't there alot of advantages? I mean, =
more memory, newest graphics-units, Direct-stuff etc.? I have once or =
twice taked a look at some windows-programs but I really don't know =
where to start. There is an enourmous amount of commands like =
"WIN_API_something" and "OpenWINdow", and stuff like that. I don't know =
what the heck it means. It would be nice with an article about some =
programming for windows for extreme beginners, or something. Where do I =
start, and what do I do?

Oh, 66% of DevCpp4.zip downloaded... hehe, I can't wait to see if I =
figure out something kewl with it. After all I do like the program it =
self an the interface and so on. :-)

Thanks - Stein Nyg=E5rd

  Do you get Dev-C++ not working at all, or do you just not get it to =
compile programs. In any case, there should be some error message which =
might help finding out why it doesn't work.
  For OpenGL and DirectX, there are lots of documentation and tutorials =
around - but i can't suggest any because i am instead using a 2D game =
programming library called Allegro (www.allegro.cc). It also works in =
DOS with the DJGPP compiler.
    Thanks alot, I think I'll try it out! :-)
    But, where can i find help to get started with dev-cpp, because I =
can't make it work so far. It's like you have to know which files to =
include  'n stuff.
    Where can i find help to get started with some really kewl =
game+graphics-programming in (fx. dev-cpp), maybe even with some kewl =
stuff like DirectX, OpenGL and Direct3D.

    Well, I hope you guys got some cool things for me.
    Thanks, 'n ceep coding! :-)
