RE: Visual C++ 5 or 6 ?

[Su Min Tan <smtan3@student.monash.edu.au>]

Visual C++ 6 is definitely much better. It has many additional enhancement.
It is catered for commercialised total solutions. Much more "Real" than
games. For a 15 you're in a good age to start.
I started when I was about..13 or so. At those times it was Q-basic and
hyperlink & batch. Assembly..etc.
I have found some very interesting engines developed by several companies.
One of them is the Corel's Click & Create. It is relatively "easy" to use
and definitely suit you. The C++ involve in game programming is still too
deep for beginners. I suggest VB scripts etc.
or..java.
