- Download Dev C for Windows 7/8,10 with Graphic liabraries. LICK THE LINKS BELOW TO DOWNLOAD DEVC FOR ANY WINDOW.
- Dev-Cpp is an application which is used to code and run programs in C/C. It has its variations but none of them come with a pre-installed graphics library. So if you are switching from some primitive editor like TurboC to Dev-Cpp (which follows ANSI specifications correctly) and try to write the following code, it won’t compile.
Apr 13, 2013 IDE:Dev-C I haven't downloaded sdl yet. I have downloaded graphics.h. It's in the same folder I have all my finished programs in. Which folder is graphic.h supposed to go? Also, do I need to download anything else to find graphic.h for me? Winbgim graphics library for dev-c free download. LIBPNG: PNG reference library Reference library for supporting the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format.
Creating 2D graphics programs under DOS is easy if you’re using [turbo c]. There is library file called graphics.h that does the tiresome work for you. But unfortunately this library is borland specific you can’t use it on other compilers.
Even though some peoples somehow managed to port it outside the turbo. Some people hacked their own version of graphics.h. One such person is Micheal main, he ported some of borland graphics functions and library.
Micheal main modified BGI library for windows application to be used under MinGW. This BGI library is renamed as WinBGIm. Now you can use all the borland specific functions under Dev-C++.
InstallationÂ
In order to run graphics programs under Dev-C++ you have to download WinBGIm files. Download the files listed below.
- Graphics.h (download to C:Dev-Cppinclude)
- libbgi.a(download to C:Dev-Cpplib)
Once you download the files. Now you have to place into the correct location in Dev-C++ installation folder. Try to locate include and lib folder under your dev-cpp installation. Move these files under the respective folder of include and lib. like e.g. D:Dev-cpp include & D:Dev-cpplib .
Configuration
At last step you’ve downloaded & installed the WinBGIm, now you have to configure it to use under Dev-C++. You’ve to set some project options in Dev-C++ in order to run WinBGIm references properly.
Follow the steps below to set proper project options for WinBGIm.
1. Go to the “File” menu and select “New”, “Project”,Choose “Empty Project” and make sure “C++ project” is selected. Give your project suitable name and click on “Ok”.
OR
1. You can create individual C++” source file” instead of “project”. Go to the “File” menu and select “New Source File” OR Go to the “Project” menu and select “New File”.
2. Go to “Project” menu and choose “Project Options”.
3. Go to the “Parameters” tab.
4. In the “Linker” field, enter the following text:
- -lbgi
- -lgdi32
- -lcomdlg32
- -luuid
- -loleaut32
- -lole32
5.Click “Ok” to save settings.
Now you’ve done with the configuration for WinBGIm. Please make sure you’ve done this step properly otherwise compiler will flag error.
Testing & Debugging
Now let’s write a small program to test how WinBGIm works. Here is the source code for the program. Type it down,save it with .cpp extension and compile and run to see the results.
#include <graphics.h>
Dev C++ Graphics Download
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
initwindow(800,600);
circle(200,300,600);
while(!kbhit());
closegraph();
return 0;
}
This is the program for displaying circle with respective parameters on window of size 800×600.This window will close when you press any key.If you’ve made settings correctly then you can view the graphics,without any problem.
What’s included ?
All the borland graphics batteries included, plus some additional written by other contributors of WinBGIm. With WinBGIm you can use most of the borlands graphics function & RGB colors. You can also use detectgraph() and initgraph() or you can use new function called initwindow(). You can even use some of the old mouse function such as int mousex() & int mousey() along with getmouseclick() & clearmouseclick(). For keyboard functions,you don’t have to include conio.h some of the functions are supported without it like void delay(int millisec),int getch( ),int kbhit( ).
If you want to capture the screen where you’ve created your graphics. You can do it with help of these functions getimage(),imagesize(), printimage(), putimage(), readimagefile() ,writeimagefile().

Help & Support
If you’re into some trouble with installation & configuration,then please post your questions here. But please don’t post homework problems or your custom projects.Google groups is the right place to get answers in such cases. You can even get lot of support with WinBGIm and Dev-C++ at Google groups. If you want to read about the WinBGIm documentation & FAQ.
If you’ve any question or suggestion then don’t hesitate to post it here.If you know any alternative than WinBGIm,please post about it here.
Dev C++ Download Software
If you want to build games, I would strongly suggest to go with UDK.
If you want to program games, I would suggest learning C++ at least the simplest concepts, like pointers, structs, header files (the last two were included in my book so you should know I guess)
From what I could gather is that you do not have enough knowledge of programming, which is needed. Even though you knew the basic concepts, your game is going to suck.
Note: Allegro 5 and OpenGL 4.0 had the same installation (nearly the same) and from what I could gather, the idea is that all libraries should have the same installation. You will better be off learning C++, since I made the same thing as you 2 years ago and came back to C++ to learn a lot of stuff.
SDL is known to be easier than Allegro 5, meanwhile others say the contrary. It all depends what you really mean. The file actually had a folder, because you have to open it with WinRar.
Read a C++ book with a lot of pages than you will learn stuff alone.
The better your C++ skills, the better the games you will make will be.
Otherwise, read my Allegro 5 book ;)
