Looking for a Free C/C++ Compiler with CC0 or Unlicense?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm just starting out in programming, and my uncle mentioned that C and C++ aren't as complicated as people say. Should I dive into C++ right away? Also, I'm on the hunt for a compiler that's licensed under CC0 or Unlicense. If none exists, what would you suggest? My PC has limitations and can't run Godot, mainly because it doesn't support OpenGL 4.3+ or DirectX 12+. Any recommendations for an engine or other tools? Thanks for taking the time to read this! <3

Just to clarify, CC0 isn't actually a software license. Most compilers you'll find are under licenses like GPL, Apache, or MIT. Are you looking for something specific?

You're in luck! Most popular compilers, including GCC and Clang, are free and open source. They’re both great options. Before diving into a game engine, I suggest you start with some basic programming by creating simple text games like Tic Tac Toe or Connect Four. Then maybe move on to a simple 2D game like Pong or Snake before tackling a full game engine!
CuriousCoder92: Thanks for the advice! That sounds like a solid plan.

Are you actually looking for a paid C/C++ compiler? I thought you wanted something free that’s publicly usable.
CuriousCoder92: No, I just meant I thought CC0/Unlicense meant completely free to use. Sorry for the confusion!
