Question: I am currently trying to develop a 2d RPG for Windows 95/98/2000 and i have a little knowledge with C/C++. First off, i need to know which FREE compiler is best for developing a RPG game. Second, i have made all the graphics i need for the game in paint, but i do not have a map editor. Am i suppose to create my own map editor? or am i able to download one that allows me to upload my graphics into it and somehow tie it into my game? If at all possible, it will be very helpful if someone could tell me everything i need to create a 2D RPG (including language, compiler, platform, and how to imput the graphics and sounds) and where to get it. Also some tutorials would be helpful considering this is the first game i am trying to create. Thanks in advance.
