http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/?source=recommended Has anyone else tried this newer version of Dev-C++? I was totally surprised to find this project on sorceforge. Features: I may try it out. --- |

Well the Orwell Dev-C++ isn't the same as the Bloodshed Dev-C++. Just like wxDev-C++, Orwell is just a guy/team that picked up the code and started updating it on his own. I've not messed with it as I just use command line and Geany/Vim/Sublime Text 2.

I realize this. They took the old Dev-C++ and are updating it, making their own version, whatever... you're picking nits. Looks good to me from the screen shots. I like the version of GCC they're using for 64bit as well. --- |

I use wxDevC++, but I'll have to try this out. I program a lot with wxWidgets, so this kind of makes sense. Dev-C++ is still my C++ IDE of choice despite all the haters. Now if only we could convince them to merge wxDevC++ with Orwell...

No, you want to see nit picking, go to Cplusplus.com and make the generalization of Bloodshet/Orwell/wxDev-C++ and they will rip you a new one (as they did me).

It's as much Dev-C++ as Allegro is still Allegro even though someone else is maintaining it. I could care less what a bunch of anal retentive nerds think. With that said, I doubt I will use this version, even though it IS up to date, and I like the fact that you get a couple different C99 settings and you can make it default to C (not C++)... I don't like the fact that Dev-C++ doesn't have an easy way to switch between debug and release modes. I have grown fond of being able to have many different builds (on my Deluxe Pacman I have a debug, release (normal 32bit) and a special AMD64 build). I'm quite surprised they haven't added in what I feel is needed functionality in a modern compiler. I'll stick to Code::Blocks, it's grown on me now. Edit: Actually, I've been using the CodeBlocks nightly builds and it's been pretty good. (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/board,20.0.html) --- |

Sounds like it's worth giving it a try. I like particularly the part about it beign portable.

Nostalgia bombed. I feel young again. Edit: Woah I am realizing how awful our color schemes and contrast were back in the day. We probably all nearly went blind/insane using Dev-C++. Compare it to something modern like this: {"name":"NBbQK.png","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/0\/302ee427fc5548dcf5a801efe294a130.png","w":1920,"h":1080,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/0\/302ee427fc5548dcf5a801efe294a130"}

I've been using the Dev-C++ color scheme since I started coding, since it was what I was used to. Is a dark color scheme like that one easier to work with in your opinion? ______________________________________ |

I liked the dark background in DOS better than dark chars on a light background, but having a 45hz interlaced refresh might have had something to do with that. Now I like black chars on parchment white. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

I use editors and then command line to compile. I personally like vim (and my terminal is set to black with green text (matrix colors) but once in a while I use Geany, but I use the invert color option so that it is black background color. I've read that the white background color can make it hurt your eyes after a while of staring at it when coding.

90% of my time I'm programming at 2 A.M just like I'm doing right now. I feel that a white background burns my eyes.

I can do either or. I usually have a black background.. right now it's blue though, with a huge font. {"name":"606326","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/a\/b\/ab5e7ddc6199d5b4c146b7d987b51029.png","w":1280,"h":800,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/a\/b\/ab5e7ddc6199d5b4c146b7d987b51029"}

Here is mine, basically: {"name":"606341","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/1\/610af3a0769c5a1951277b0e3cae67f7.png","w":1196,"h":582,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/1\/610af3a0769c5a1951277b0e3cae67f7"} I don't have my code here with me at work, so I just used an example file. I find white background a little bit and less relaxing, but with a dark background I also can't use maximum white or maximum green or font color for example, because it makes the text too bright and glowey. Also sometimes I use a really dark blue instead of dark black. With LCDs instead of CRTs it doesn't really matter if you don't use absolute black. (\ /) |

Mine's a bit more artistic {"name":"606343","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/7\/478356affe8f703c6187a0acfc939219.png","w":1280,"h":800,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/7\/478356affe8f703c6187a0acfc939219"} -------------------------------------------------- My blog: http://joshuadover.tumblr.com |

I've been playing around with the colour scheme recently and have come up with this one. It seems easy on the eyes. A Matrix/DOS style scheme. Keywords and variables are all shades of green, text, numbers, characters are all shades of blue or cyan, processors, operators and bracers are all shades of yellow/orange. Comments are all shades of grey (no, not 50 ). {"name":"606344","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/f\/df53697ff27feaa656414c646b8b2af3.png","w":955,"h":627,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/d\/f\/df53697ff27feaa656414c646b8b2af3"} If the font size seems large it's because my eyesight has been fluctuating lately (diabetes). Although it seems larger in this pic than it does on my screen. Edit: I don't use white in anything but my cursor, and as you can see, it really stands out this way, which is nice because I seem to easily lose track of it. Edit: I also use a dark blue background for highlighting selected text, bright cyan for highlighting matching brackets. Kronk: I like your scheme. --- |

I find inverted colors very hard on the eyes. Everything is black-on-white for me. {"name":"a90d5e4346355448329a618ec91320d4fe32b40cb07581226924c0fb25bf0a9da5017a2394a8407245d66f998d1f5265c8709122502b0a16.php","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/9\/f98e5bd71f316b8592f4ecbef7f354ac.png","w":1436,"h":868,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/9\/f98e5bd71f316b8592f4ecbef7f354ac"} -- |
