I think its C rather than C++.

dark: Learning C would be better. Since it will familiarise you with the syntax etc... Then you would need to learn pointers thoroughly since the strong point of C/C++ is pointers(iterators in the STL). Then you should move to C++.

I recommend getting DevC++(which is *just* an IDE which comes with MingW32 which is the compiler) and start coding in C++.

Er...Excuse me, but it's C++. You know why? Because these things are 32-bit apps, i.e., Windows apps. C for windows? No.

erm...correct me if i am wrong.

C has the best cross compatibility

C has a win32 port

Thus C compiles for win32(or in layman terms Windows)

Hence, C can make win32(windows) Apps.

I stand corrected...but don't you need OOP for Windows programming? And C isn't OOP.

OOP is a choice not a necessity. Look at nathe, he is totally against OOP. You will be surprised but most of the games are made in C or a derivative of it.

Hmm...where can I get this C Win32 port? I'd like to learn it...

DevC++ comes with MingW32 compiler =P. Which incidentally compiles for C as well :o

I have it..and it seems only to compile C for msdos. =/

Hehe, Zack you need to learn a lot. Just because it pops a console doesnt mean it compiles for DOS. Guess what - its windows(its a valid win32 app)!

Meh, just proves how little I know about Win32 programming.
It can access the API?
