Leadwerks and dev C++

[Koan]

Hi

 

I would like to use the engine with Dev-C++. Can I do it and how ?

 

Is there a C++ code editor with the engine ?

Yes, you can use Dev-C++, but I would recommend to use Code::Blocks with MinGW instead.

I wrote a small tutorial how to use Code::Blocks with Leadwerks:

You could also use Microsoft Visual Studio C++ express like most people have done in the past, but I think it's time to try something new and cross-platform.

Me and Roland were using Visual Studio also, but now we use Code::Blocks

Thanks. Good tutorial.
