Questions About Arcade/Code

Post by Zero_GT »

Ok I am new too the coders group and I have a few questions so I may be able to actually make an arcade game or something. First off I am using a client to access Microsoft Visual Studios 2005(which may be a problem?). I downloaded the arcade file however when I try to open the file with VS it doesn't even see the folder I put the files in. So I cant even open them. I did get it to work at college however it said it was out dated and had to be updated. After the update it would not compile(not really sure why). Here are my questions:
1.) Can I download a trial version of Visual Studios from the Microsoft site and use it for this stuff?
2.) Does The Universal only use C++ or can I write in C#?
3.)When opening in note pad one of the files that appeared to be code it looked completely foreign to me. I didn't even see the "Main" function. It just seemed like a bunch of #include stuff. Do I just not know enough about the code or am I looking at some header folder?
4.) I looked through some of the tutorial sites, but I was wondering if there was any in-depth break down of one of the arcade game codes anywhere as an example? I probably am overlooking it.
-Ok I think thats everything. Sorry for all the questions. =)
