jajolt Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah, I'm starting to learn C so then I can move on to do C like languages, such as Sourcepawn, etc. I need a C compiler to read the programs that I type from my book so things can be done more effectively. I need a link to one that is easy to install and is not for like windows ME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa John Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Code Blocks, Visual Studio / Express, or DevC++ works well. Edited February 7, 2013 by Papa John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipple Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 microsoft visual studio is free and easy. thats what i used for c++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackEyes Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't recommend Visual Studio as your first to use. Do code blocks first it's beginner friendly. Also, you don't really need to learn C before SourcePawn. I learned Sourcepawn first and then went to C++. Don't use Dev-C++ since it is very deprecated and out-of-date compared to many current IDEs.

enigma# Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Also, you don't really need to learn C before SourcePawn. I learned Sourcepawn first and then went to C++. I can partially agree to that. Depending on your learning style, you may want to start C first then evolve to may higher-level languages like C++ C# or something like that. It also depends on what path you want to go. I would say go C -> C++ /C# / VBnet / Java -> whatever you want after IF you plan only ot program for games, then eh do your C training then SourcePawn. However, some people learn better by going from a high level programming language (like SourcePawn) to a lower one like C or Assembly. Technically C isn't that low but it is pretty low on the chain of programming languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean the reason I'm doing C first mainly is because I have a book that is easier to understand (and more accurate) than online tutorials and there's no book on sourcepawn lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fry Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Code Blocks, Visual Studio / Express, or DevC++ works well. Those are IDEs not compilers. Given they can compile. For a compiler but itself http://www.mingw.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-O-P-rime Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I use FPC as a basic compiler right now. Idk if you need that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
