Question: Is this forum open to all coding? Such as HTML, C and Java? (If yes to java, put this in the sticky main post.)

HL2 Coding

Probably not as useful as it sounds. The community seems rather inactive, and I'm fairly sure that the forums aren't even managed anymore.

I suppose it's pretty cool for Java and C questions too, but HTML is a markup language, strictly.

Tools

DirectX SDK (required)
Platform SDK (required)

Why are there required if someone doesn't mind explaining that?

Platform SDK = Windows libraries so it can perform any OS commands it needs.

DirectX SDK = Because you're compiling DirectX code for the graphics. Without this, it has no idea what any of the DirectX classes are like surfaces, devices, etc.

Great, thanks Dave.

Thanks for the links, it helped me a lot.

HL2coding.com is dead, last I checked. It just says "TEST"

Not sure if you want to remove it.

I added a notice.

I love all the tutorials here, but the GUI coding tutorial is way out of date, and won't compile on newer programs. I found a good one here, that's mostly the same, but with working source code, and better descriptions, IMO.
