Aqua-Soft ForumsHey ok so I know a lot of JAVA and I am learning C++. I dont know what compilers there are. Can anyone point me to a good editor/compiler that I can use. It doesnt have to be free but that is a plus. 
THnx so much guys.
What Application To Write/compile C++
Why the best compiler of course: GCC.
gcc.gnu.org
You can run it via Cygwin on Windows.
Its Open Source, and the standard.
It can even compile JAVA into bytecode.
I've used this thing called LCC. It compiles itself during installation, its VERY NICE!!
Sorry I dont have a link.
Visual Studio 6 (Y) !
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Yes, I know it should have been later.
Yes, I know it should have been never.
Yes, I know it would have been sooner.
if your intrested in writing c# you can just use notepad and the sdk from microsoft, it works great. As for c++ the only thing ive ever used is borland. If your fairly new to coding though i sugest an enviroment, like visual studio, it makes thinga allot easer to figgure out.
Can I recommend reading what I suggested to Loofygun at TwistedCPU...
It's fairly complete, and he was looking to do exactly the same thing as you 
i like microsoft's visual c++
i'm not saying its the best or anything its just what I'm comfortable with
