Topic: [HELP] C++ Compiler and Linker

Hiho Guys,

Re: [HELP] C++ Compiler and Linker

normaly the linker is build in into the compiler xD

if u are on windows just download microsoft visual c++... its free wink
in linux gcc/g++ is what u need big_smile

anyway... do u really think this topic fits into "gameplay"? :\

Re: [HELP] C++ Compiler and Linker

Hi, and great that you want to learn how to program.

First, which operating system do you use? There are several compilers/linkers and/or environments to chose from. In windows I would recommend you to download VisualC++ Express, the free development environment from Microsoft. If you use a Mac then download XCode which is "free" too. Both these includes a C++ compiler and linkers as well a being complete environments for editing code and debugging stuff. For Linux you should get g++ (part of gcc) and a good text editor of your choice (I use gVim).

Good luck!

ok...thx

@Sushi Tee: Sry...i don't think it should come into "gameplay" but my english is bad and i dont really understand the regulatory...sry big_smile

@Sushi Tee; Void: I use Windows...thx, i will download visual c++ express

Re: [HELP] C++ Compiler and Linker

It might not be a good idea to dive directly into the teeworlds code.

Best would be to follow some basic C++ tutorial (well mainly C basics is usually best) and then do some simpler stuff yourself.

http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html is a quite good tutorial on how to get starting with SDL for simple 2D games, it will require you to know some C or C++ though.

EDIT: I would personally recommend learning to program using a framebuffer (you can get one quite easily from SDL) and then drawing individual pixels to it. That's how I learned stuff in the beginning. Should try to port "The Art of Demomaking" to SDL or something smile

Re: [HELP] C++ Compiler and Linker

C/C++ is a very large language. I advise you to practice much little programs and read whole tutoriels, and even in english because the programmation's language is english, not german ; do not forget this.
To me, you shouldn't try to modify teeworlds code prematurely, unless you'll probably do one crazy-mod more. Be patient wink

Not Luck, Just Magic.

This sounds like someone is going to frustrate and stop learning xDDD
