C++ Program

[Kokowam]

Yeah, as a kid, being a game maker is always one of the top ideals for a future job. I read that C++ is the program that most games nowadays are programmed with/around so I thought I might look into it.

Plus, it's OO so, if I ever decide to get into RGSS-ing a bit more, it's good experience. Good experience with a programming language in general.

Also, since I'm a kid and I'd rather not bother my parents/I have no muniez, a free program would be good.

For the tl;dr: Free C++ editing program, please.

I use it and its pretty cool.

I use Notepad++ for pretty much anything coding related. you will need to get a compiler though.

Aiite, cool. Thanks.

EDIT:

Okay, I got the program and it's cool and all but I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!

After I make a I code, how do I run it as a program or whatnot? What does compiling do? Why can't I debug? WHAT IS DEBUGGING? ASDHLA;aweh;law'e I need help

BUMP for the problem above because most people don't look past the "Recent Reply" area, and the other dude's topic is on that spot.

torrent a C book. Usually they start out with telling you which program to use and the book will all be written in that program making it easy to see how to do everything

and usually that is a commercial program that paid to be used for the book, and you'd have to buy it.

since when? Out of all the books I've used they have only mentioned scITE, notepad++, or netbeans. (of course this being for php)
never ran into something using dreamweaver

edit: wait on the subject of torrenting, torrent the program 

[Kokowam]

Then anyone know a good torrent? ._. I kinda want one as a recommendation from someone so I know it's reliable.

Just make sure people are seeding it, and check to see if there are any bad comments.

[Kokowam]

>_> I guess I'll do that. But wth? I see C, C++, and Java, three common ones, but how does C# differ ?_?

EDIT: Okay, my question was pretty irrelevant but here's one important one (also, YAY! the PDF goes over Dev-C++~):
What the heck does this line mean?

Code Select Expand

int main (int nNumberofArgs. char* pszArgs[])
I know what "int main" is (basically like def main in RGSS) but wth do all those parameters mean?

[tSwitch]

you don't need to know, in fact, you don't even need to put them there.
you could just put "void main() {" with a lot of compilers nowadays, if not that, maybe "int main() {"
the params aren't really needed.

[Kokowam]

Okay, good. Whew. XD I like the "int main() {"
