Armagetron Development Resource CD v.0.1

Post by Seeker »

I know nothing exists like that yet, but since I am making an attempt to restart my brain in C++ programming, I felt I would put together a kind of resource kit for potential armagetron developers.

I was wondering if anyone would like to give some input on what resources to include on the CD (which i will rip to .iso format for web distro when done)

This is what I have so far:

-Dev C++ v.4.9.90 (v.5) install .exe

-The cplusplus.com tutorial "C++ Language Tutorial" & included sources

-A folder for assorted web links to online resources like M$ MSDN and Bloodshed software.

-A folder with a few movie packs that have been posted on the forums

-A folder with separate folders containing the source codes to arma Versions 0.2.1, 0.2.6.0, and 0.2.7.0

-The installers for arma 2.5,2.6, and 2.7

There is only a total of ~45mb on a 700mb CD as of now, so feel free to tell me what you feel I should add. (Assuming there would be any interest in this idea)

Does anyone have a "how to" that they have written, that they want me to include? (like "How to make a movie pack" or "Geting started with Armagetron Programming") I am thinking of doing a Documentation folder as well.

How about Anjuta? The CD seems to be aimed towards Windows developers, which, realistically, isn't an ideal development environment and Windows developers are harder to come by than Linux developers. Though, for Windows developers, I would include the MinGW installer as well.

sorry all, in my own narrow mindedness i only put the resources from my own work on there. i want this to include resources for linux, mac, bsd, and anyone else that wants to give it a shot.
