Dev-C++ tutorials

Dev-C++ isn''t a compiler, it is a development environment.

Dev-C++ uses the mingw port of the gcc compiler suite, the manuals of which are available online (gcc-2.95.3 for Dev-C++ 5, gcc-2.95.2 for Dev-C++ 4).

gcc adds some extensions to the C and C++ languages, but overall is more standard-conformant than MSVC is (especially VC6 and earlier, MS claims Service Pack 1 will bring VC7 to full compliance). Of course, if you''re used to using Microsoft''s extensions to the language (and believe they are ''standard''), then it is obviously not the same C++ language. But the extensions aren''t part of the language anyways.

You can also download individual mingw-gcc packages from SourceForge to upgrade the compiler to the 3.1 beta, since 2.95.2 is 3-year-old (2.95.3 is 1-year-old and considered stable).

Same, Dev-cpp all the way...

cone3d.gamedev.net has some basic devcpp startup tutorials I remember.

go to gamecoding.co.uk, some pretty good stuff in there.
