yeah can some one tell me if their is a free c++ compiler that can compile some of the projects in the book im reading"Sams Teach Yourself Game Programming"or if bloodshed dev c++ can be configured to compiler the codes in the book.

What compiler does it say to use?
Obvioulsy if your using third part libraries for graphics and the like, DevC++ won't be much help. Check your book, or list some of the headers they have you calling. And you might want to check out Allegro.
my two cents

The C Library Reference Guide
Understand the fundamentals
Then have some more fun
Also, look into MinGW Studio. It uses basically the same compiler as Dev-C++ but in a MSVC++ like IDE.
actually it says in the book if you dont have money to use bloodshed dev-c++.the book seems to try to stay away from any of the graphics part of game programming.the main header file the book uses is windows.h.one of the compilers that i tried to download that the book said worked, was the borland c++ one but i need a key i'll try to the demo of mvc++ but its very odd.i usally use my digital mars complier cause it has worked with alot of the things i worked on but it only compiles the first lesson on the book.all the book says is that a good c++ compile will work so i need all possiblecompilers that could work if not then i'll have to save my money for a very long time to by a compiler that works.
could you possibly give some code thats in the book?
Woop?
