So I'm ready to learn a new language, and from what I'm guessing, C++ would be best for game development. This is of course for fun, learning, and just a hobby, I don't expect to be making the next Halo/MGS/LOZ, etc. etc. Just want something more powerful than VB. (Not powerful at all for games, but I have created alot with what it offers.) Anyway, so I'm guessing C++ is the way to go? I've picked up tons of resources on websites on game programming in C++ language.

Also, which free and cost compiler do you think is best if any?

Thanks for any help.

C++ is fun. I use Microsoft Visual Studio for my Compiler.

C+? WTF

I use mostly C, with the occasional std::vector and std::string.

MinGW.

If you use anything else, you need to eat a rock. I mean, eat a cock.

Quoted for fucking truth. Visual C++ is not C++.

Also, C+ rocks. It's a very good brand of soda.

MinGW is GCC for Windows.

I know, but Windows fails, therefore GCC still wins.

MinGW it is then, thanks guys.

Have any tutorials that stand out on understanding the language? Just curious if there is anything out there that realy stands apart in teaching C++.
