I know about the compilers currently available in the market most prominant beign V.S. 6 for Win32.
I am curious anybody know of a good Compiler which is just as good as VC? At the moment I am stuck ith VC5 and need to upgrade to a better compiler before making any new games -_-

So far my experience has been with GCC and VC. I know WatCom made a come back but I'v had issues with it, since they dont like the lib files and when trying to run OpenGL apps it just screws them up -_-

Oh What I meant, any of them any good ^_^ I mean I have handled GCC before, I like it. However when it comes downt to Writting and Debuggin Windows Apps, or games it's a pain -_-So far my experience has been with GCC and VC.

Anyway, I can't really tell you how they all seem to work with Torque since I haven't used anything but Visual Studio, but I know there's some people using Borland or Codewarrior out there
So my suggestion's just to check em all out and make your own decisions... some of them have free versions you can download to try em out

oh.. well, Metrowerks is decent, some people like it, I prefer VC6... I've never used VectorC or Borland.. Intel's compiler doesn't have a IDE, but it can be used in place of the default compiler with Microsoft's Visual Studio IDEAnyway, I can't really tell you how they all seem to work with Torque since I haven't used anything but Visual Studio, but I know there's some people using Borland or Codewarrior out there

VC is obviously more mature, more targeted, but it also carries a lot of baggage with it too.
I've used both, but I've tried to stick with Metrowerks almost exclusively of late.

Codewarrior is pretty good. They've improved their codegen a lot, and of course it has the advantage of being single-project-cross-platform. Nice if you're doing PC and Mac targeting.VC is obviously more mature, more targeted, but it also carries a lot of baggage with it too.

Me and a couple of collegues have found Visual Studio.NET beign circulated.
Now dont know if that for just the .NET platform or what the heck it is. Can somebody fill me in, because where under the suspicion that it only worked for .NET and created no native Code.
Considering it' was increadibly cheap compared to Visual Studio 6.0
I was curious, anybody have any info on this new version of VS?
