yeah i think i will go with what you said and go with visual c++.

All I can find is this link http://nexe.gamedev.net/directKnowledge/default.asp?p=DirectX%20Development%20Using%20DevCpp but im having trouble figuring this out. I downloaded MinGW and i tried typing in what they said and didn't work. It says reimp is not recognized. I am not sure if i have the path...

@Andrew hmm I like the link you sent.

@k-bal yeah I want to be a programmer

I was looking at an older topic which asks if using a program like dark gdk is a cheap way to go about programming a game. http://elysianshadows.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2856&p=30677&hilit=dark+gdk#p30677 I want to make this hobby my career and I want to take the most efficient way...

yeah i will need more help. Is your yahoo i.m. the same as your name on here?

That did help! thank you. Don't you hate when someone gives you such a simple fix that you know, just couldn't think of. i haven't programmed in about a half a year so I'm a bit rusty, plus this is my first time using c++, I'm used to java. But thanks that helped me. It's still not doing exactly wha...

thats really tight. What exactly is a "Raycaster"?

The idea is when the down key is pressed to display the red bar, when it is released it goes away (i got that to work fine) now i am trying to make the bar change from red to blue each time the space bar is pressed (whether the bar is visible or not). In the code below, the image 2 is red and image ...
