Irrlicht Engine

I'd go for Code::Blocks, mainly because I can use the mingw compiler. I find that using wix or including the VC++ runtime for distributing my apps with VC++ can be a real pain. That said, the VC++ debugger has some nice features.

I am currently running Ubuntu Linux, after running Windows XP before it crashed on me. As Niko agreed pm his blog, Linux is really the environment for developers. The problem is distribution. I have learned to circumvent this by using cross-platform development libraries such as Irrlicht, wxWindows ...

I recommend Nexuiz available at http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/ For 2d, I enjoy playing Freeciv -> http://www.freeciv.org/ and Wesnoth -> http://www.wesnoth.org/ BTW, if you are running Ubuntu, you can install all of the above applications/games from Add/Remove Applications. Go under the "Game...

Nice website. I am looking forward to seeing the finished game!

This is an oldie. I prefer Blender3d, especially considering that it is entirely open source!

The D language hasn't received any major updates in 3 years . While the idea behind the project is quite intriguing, it doesn't live up to expectations. This is in part attributable to the fact that C# came out around the time that D did. As a result, D was overshadowed by the new .NET languages. I ...

I use Nullsoft Scriptable Install System(NSIS) - it is open source and cross-platform. The scripts are easy to code by hand, but I also use HM NSIS EDIT for the useful visual wizards.

If you are willing to sacrifice cross-platform support, then Windows Resource Files are the best option, IMO. Here is nice tutorial http://www.softlookup.com/tutorial/vc++/vcu10fi.asp

Firefox easily beats competition. Not only is the addon framework excellent, the theming support is still better than others. Opera would be my second choice, although I find that it renders some pages rather unusually. IE 6/7 are definitely the worst choices, since both contain many bugs, support A...

Vista is a flashy interface. That's about all. In many ways, Vista is comparable to Apple's new IPhone, of which the outside cover attracts the general public who have money to spend on pure looks. That about sums it up in my mind.

Thanks for the feedback. Any ideas for improvement would be appreciated!

When Microsoft first released .NET, I literally forced myself to read a few beginner books on C#. After a while, I dropped them(and Microsoft!) in favor of c++. However, with .NET 3.0 integration into Vista, my interest in the .NET technology was renewed. As a result, I decided to try creating a med...

It would be useful, Yes. However, I haven't ever heard or any application which can do this, and I don't ever expect to find one. 2d and 3d scenes are worlds each to their own.

This is unnecessarily complex... here is the code which does the same thing. It works on all versions of Windows Simple and easy.

Looks quite interesting...
