Elysian Shadows

Now i am wondering which of the two compilers is best (Running windows) some guys told me to choose from MinGW and Cygwin.. Which one is best for creating some SDL games?

The Netbeans for C/C++ looks pretty good, I already have it installed since i did code some stuff in java, I'll check it out and see if it suits me.

Im only coding on a laptop at the moment so i would like the slower one, But is VC the only choise or is there other C++ compilers i can choose from that are fairly up to date?

I decided to instead starting with something in Java i would go for something in C++.
I'll go with the SDL library for this game im creating.. This brings me another question tho!

Is Visual C++ still the number 1 IDE or is there something better out there?

Thanks for great answear for my questions!

Tho i wonder if Java still works to create some small browsergames lookalikes.. Im not into creating something big i just want to tinker a bit
Else i found C++ a little bit more complicated, I like the language but i still have much to learn.

Hello people! I had some questions i need answears for, Hope some nice people in this comunity can help me. Note that all theese questions don't have a connection i just want to find the answear of all of my questions. 1. What languages does the Elysian Shadow team use for their game? 2. How can i u...

I tried writing something that loads tiles from an array using XNA C#.. I get a problem tho.. I have an array that holds the X, Y positions to draw on.. And i have a loop that draws a tile to each position in the array.. But after that i found out that if i draw inside a for loop the pictures will o...

Thanks!

I need to ask for help on this one.. Its at the moment the biggest problem of my 2D side scroller project im making in C++.. I found out that it would be better to make a big tile sheet and load the tiles like one by one and the render them to the screen instead of using like the whole map in one Im...
