C++

[WhiteRanger]

I was wondering what the Program(s) is called?

i'm just wondering.

C++ is not programs, or a program per se. It's a programming language (i.e. used to MAKE programs).
Although there are applications/programs out there such as Microsoft Visual Studio to help write programs in C++.
Maybe this is what you are looking for?

You can get Visual C++ Express for free here (http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/).

ElJohno, I don't know about you, but starting with Visual C++ is a bit of an overkill. It takes forever to download. I would recommend Code::Blocks with Mingw compiler(comes in a bundle package) at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/codeblocks/codeblocks-8.02mingw-setup.exe . It comes with a compiler set up for you, and it's only 20 mb(as compared to Visual C++s near 600 mb). As for usage of C++, you can easily get started making simple text apps, maybe a roguelike later, it's all a matter of how hard you work.

Visual C++ is win though. I have to say I prefer visual suite more.
