Microsoft Visual Studio

Visual Studio hides away the complexity of preprocessing, compiling, and linking. It wraps it all up into the press of a button. In addition to this, it provides a slick user interface for us to type our code into and manage what will become a large selection of code files and other project assets as well.

While there are advanced versions of Visual Studio that cost hundreds of dollars, we will be able to build all five of our games in the free “Express 2019 for Community” version. This is the latest free version of Visual Studio.
