So, C++ is the best for game programming... but I got C++ with Visual Studio, but that makes like DOS apps. Do I use a different compiler or what? - Yohan -

No. When you create a new project, you should get a choice of application type. If you want a ''pure'' windows application, choose "Win32 Application" as opposed to "Win32 console application".

Of course you''ll then have to learn the idiosyncrasies of Windows programming (as opposed to ''just'' C++ programming).

No, you don''t have to change your compiler. When you create your project, just select a "Win32 application" instead of a "console based application".

Sounds logical, doesn''t it ?

Encore trop lent, Petit Scarabée. Il te reste beaucoup de choses à apprendre.

if you created your project already and want to change it goto Project->Settings... (Alt+F7)->Linker->EditBox on the bottom and search for "/subsystem:console", change it to "/subsystem:windows"!

I _AM_ crazy, and proud of it. Real life is waaaaay too boring to be taken seriously.
