Post subject:  still doesn't work

I have tried to download the dev C++ tutorial but still there are errors when I tried to download it.

153 c:\docume~1\owner\desktop\lesson01\lesson1.cpp

`CDS_FULLSCREEN' undeclared (first use this function)

153 c:\docume~1\owner\desktop\lesson01\lesson1.cpp

(Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

153 c:\docume~1\owner\desktop\lesson01\lesson1.cpp

for each function it appears in.)

They three errors always come up. I was wondering what I was doing wrong!

lol yes every one "buys" it... but anyways NEHE also has dev c++ examples for it's tutorials download and use them if u want... (but i'd suggest u use V C++ cuz it's more standard and more tutorials are based on that)

hey i dled visual c++ standard of kazaa, is there advanced? and if there is what is the difference

standart will do fine.

There're other packages aimed at various buisness sizes, but there aren't any difference you would be interested in. Its still the same language and same compiler. They just have some addon stuff like some over-the-network project manager or whatnot.

I'm making stuff up here, but the point is - difference is minimal. Its the same as having 3 different versions of windows XP - just something M$ likes to do. Makes it look like they have more products, and get extra cash out of suckers who buy products with longer names.

it doesnt matter which one you use really... source code is the same (well untill you get into openGL and such... as far as I know, there's a bit of source variation to get things working)

its all about the text editor and what makes it easier for you to code in. VC++ has colorcoding, argument passing help (it shows you the function line and tells you in what order to pass the arguments) and drop down menues for objects methods.

VC++ is the only C++ editor/compiler I ever used and I like it. As rizzix pointed out, when I was searching for a java IDE, try them all out and see which one you like best.

Professional doesn't have all the goodies like profilers, extreme optimization, and some other stuff. If you're not making professional programs, just get Standard, it's fine.

optimization in VC++ sucks.. it ruins ur program. very inaccurate and horrifying. don't use it. if u need to compile an optimized app, use (the non-standard) intel compiler, or you can even try the GNU compiler (works to quite an extent).
