ive been wanting to get into ami coding for ages and only just recently NEARLY got to grips with VBCC, the problem is that that isnt C++ compliant (but includes a lot of the "styles" such as // usage )
however i'm a budding games coder and i have a tiny version of MS devstudio on the pc and it's bloody nice, the editor isnt the best in the world but it does do syntax colouring, file browsing and, best of all... class browsing (all those C++ classes lined up with a tree that allows you to click on their member functions to get to them) ... its got a very usefull search tool , which takes you to entries when you click on them and the builder does the same with errors... click on "missing ; or something like that" and it takes you to the offending line in the offending file pronto! ... it has a debugger too that i still havent fully got to grips with but i can now get the debugger to at least name the class::function that the program went BANG in the middle of ... usually i forgot to NULL a pointer :-)
can i do all that with golded, vbcc and the shell? nope... but then i suppose you're all gonna tell me it's not REAL coding if you dont... bloody sado's the lot of you!!!!
