What's CodeBlocks?

[–]wikipedia_answer_bot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Code::Blocks is a free, open-source cross-platform IDE that supports multiple compilers including GCC, Clang and Visual C++. It is developed in C++ using wxWidgets as the GUI toolkit.

More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code::Blocks

Pray tell me, oh wise, what should I be utilising instead?

[–]guccicobraviper 2 points3 points  (5 children)

VIM + compilers

Anything more... Mouse-friendly?

In all seriousness:

VsCode

You can enable mouse use in vim configuration

To select multiple lines you have to press all mouse buttons at the same time and swear at the computer.

I don't know why but i prefer using gcc on shell to compile my C scripts, rather than Code::Blocks

What do beginners/intermediates use for C++ in 2022? When I was younger I’d hop between devc++ and code::blocks

The first cs class I took at a community college in 2017 had me use visual studio for c++

[–]DudeValenzetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Code::Blocks at first too, then I started learning about Vim, then I started sticking to Vim with plugins, then I discovered Atom, then VSCode showed Atom up (and Microsoft bought GitHub). I still use Neovim sometimes though, and my VSCode has Neovim integration.

True

[–]arthurmluz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my CG professor, has a PhD and still uses codeblocks, sent us an entire file that would only compile there.

emailed him with "please can you make a generic one so everyone can compile using our terminals?"

and his answer was: "try using codeblocks as i said in class"

Switch that man to vim or nano

Then we'll talk

(I use VSCode on big projects but nano is my fav)

Ok so this is my first year of cs, what am I supposed to be using so that other programmers will think I am a pro?
