Okay, I recently switched to Linux... and I'm looking at Qt as an IDE, but I have a bunch of questions:
1) Does anyone have a better suggestion than Qt? I'm not a professional in any sense, I just do this for fun and occasionally for a practical need that I may occasionally have for building my own progs. I've mostly used Basic (several kinds) but I am willing to give other languages a shot from time to time... looking at Python as an alternate lately.
2) What all bits and pieces do I need to make it work? I'm constantly getting surprises when it comes to plugins and other stuff, so I need to have some idea what's involved in simply writing out some code, building a few forms, and the simple task of compiling the damn thing!
3) Can it be used for making games? Frequently, I find it necessary to use a "gaming" language because of the ability to do 3D world rendering, but the only out-of-box lang I've found so far is Blitz3D, which is pretty cool but horribly limited in several other areas. I can add modules, but this seems to be easier in some than others... Irrlicht is my current fave, but if you know of another one that does the same for no cost then I'd love to hear it.
4) Can I compile into Windows-ready *.exe/*.dll files? Linux is great, but Windows is still a thing (sadly), Mac is entirely optional to me as I don't use it.
Also, EVERYTHING must be FREE because I AM BROKE.
