What do you mean by free cell game? If your game is text base, any C/C++ compiler will do for you.





Here is a list

If you're doing a window base game, you can use Microsoft's Visual Express C++ compiler. It's free also. It will be difficult for beginners though. You might want to get a book to read up on windows programming first.

If you're using linked list for this game, then pointers should be needed. It doesn't make sense to have linked list that don't use pointers.





Hope this helps.
