Re: Different developmental enviroments?Yes! There's lots. If you want an IDE there's Eclipse, CodeBlocks, must be plenty of others too. You don't have to have use an IDE like that anyway, you can just get a free compiler like GCC and a text editor like Notepad++ and build from the command line. Loads of options.(Original post by MUN123)

Re: Different developmental enviroments?Hi, thanks for replying I am a newbie programmer, say for example I am using visual studio 2010 to build a simple game using win32 that later appears on the console screen can I use the options that you have listed above to build this game instead. Because I do a programming course and often we are asked to use visual studio C++ win32 and it can get messy at times.(Original post by Psyk)

Re: Different developmental enviroments?Yes, they can all do console apps. I don't think there's any difference in the sort of programs you can create with them (in regards to C++ anyway), but Visual Studio might have helpful features that the others might not (and vice versa).(Original post by MUN123)
