<!-- ********************************** --> ##Code::Blocks is a simple IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for writing, compiling and running C++ code. It is available here: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads ##If you use a PC, just installing Code::Blocks from the above download page should suffice. Be sure to get the version with a compiler included, eg. 'codeblocks-17.12mingw-nosetup.zip' [mingw is the C++ compiler that's included in this distribution]. ##If you're on a Mac, you need 'Command Line Tools' from Apple (which contains, among other things, the C++ compiler we need). Please see [this page](http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/12/install-command-line-tools-mac-os-x/) and watch [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JPSt7ZIF4M) for help. Sorry about the extra step(s), but it's all well worth it: once you have it installed, you'll find Code::Blocks a pleasure to use - it is minimal, easy and reliable. <!-- ********************************** -->
