Well, I have been programming in Visual Basic for 4 years, and I have experience with Direct X and Direct3D. I have been programming in Java for a little over 2 years, and I was hoping to learn C++. I have a good understanding of Java, which I believe is very similar to C++. I am looking for a compiler for C++. I was thinking about Visual C++, but Visual Basic was very ineffecient and not used for games, just tools and applications. Visual basic isnt very good for Direct X and I am thinking C++ is the same, so I would like to stick to C++ unless I am wrong. Anyone know of a free C++ compiler that has Direct X support? Or at least Open GL?
