Hey guys, I have recently been getting into a lot of stuff with computers including game programing. I am extremely new to it, and have had no prior experience with it. I am trying to figure out what to do using the "Beginning Game Programing" by Jonathan S. Harbour and a C++ Primer book by Stephen Prata. I at first tried to use Microsoft Visuals c++ 2010 express edition with the source code in the programing book, but I kept getting an error when I tried to compile it or debug it. I then tried to use Visuals C++ 2005, which was used in the book, but I would get a compatibility error (it is for XP and I am on vista 32 bit) and It wouldn't let me install the patch that was supposed to fix that problem.
Accord to what I know about it, however, it should work perfectly fine on the 2010 version. Am I doing something wrong or is there a chance that the source code won't work with the 2010 only the 2005 or 2003?Those were the ones mentioned in the book.
Any help would be much appreciated, and please let me know if you think that you know what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!!!
