[AGDev-newbies] microsoft visual C++ 2005 express

[Richard Bennett]

Hey Tom, I am currently downloading the microsoft visuall C++ 2005 express edition, since you suggested it. The question I have is this: Is it alot better than the bloodshed DevCpp IDE that I was using? also will it work with jaws 4.51? since that is the version that I am currently running? I mean when I begin to write games for retail, I want the game play to be totally awesome and want to make one of the best games out there possible. I know that allegro was a decent library and that is what I learned with. How much harder is it to get sounds and all to play with microsoft's Visual C++? One more question that I can think of right now, would I really need to download a game library to go with this since it is capable of playing sounds, I wouldn't think that I would need to download a game library now since this will play sounds since I wouldn't need graphics and such other things like that.  I will apprecinate any input on this IDE since I know nothing about it. 
Thanks,
Richard Bennett *BEAN*
