Coding programs Created 20 years ago2004-03-30 01:39:45 UTC by fixxxer575

Iwant to start coding but i dont have c++. i dont really want to buy it just to make hl mods. is there another program that i can use to code?

Well, you can do it in a text editor like Notepad, all you need then is a "compiler" to turn your code into an EXE or a DLL or whatever. Have a look on Google for c++ free compiler.

Actually, all the free compilers suck. Go buy MSVC++, that's the only one that's guaranteed to work...Dev-C++ has been recommended, but it's crap...

save up and get a C++ package - its the only good way

i read botman's tutorial (http://planethalflife.com/botman/building.shtml) and he said you could use borland c++ compiler but you need to use his patching program to patch sdk 2.2. the problem is i can't find 2.2 because it too old. i tried the latest version of sdk with the patcher program but it didn't work. anybody know were to get sdk 2.2?

You know what, I don't understand anything to do with coding - the thought alone sends shivers right down my spine

Borland is even worse than Dev-C++.

Is there a tutorial on how to use Dev-C++?

Not here there's not, have a look around on the 'net.

Get a book. I learnt c++ with 3 books.

I dont need to know how to program c++ (yet) I need to how to use Dev-C++ to compile a .dll. Does anybody know how to use Dev-C++?

You can download an Ebook copy of "The c++ programming language" by Bjarne Stroustrup, using any P2P software...
