Sams Teach Yourself Game Programming in 24 Hours

Bloodshed Dev-C++

If you think that the cost of this book is about as much as you're willing to invest in game programming, you'll probably want to steer clear of Visual C++ and C++Builder. Fortunately, there is a high-quality C++ development environment available that is completely free. I'm referring to Dev-C++ by Bloodshed Software, which relies on an open source C++ compiler to power its graphical development interface. Although Dev-C++ doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Visual C++ or C++Builder, it can definitely get the job done.

Open source software is software that is created by a community for the purpose of being freely accessible to anyone . Open source software is typically free, with any voluntary costs usually consisting of a donation to help support open source initiatives.
