Aside from BYOND, what language is it? Could you also post the link to it, and maybe some tutorials?
C/C++, I'm sure a quick google search will get you plenty of results on those.

Any recommended compilers?
In response to Hell Ramen
A good free one is "Dev C++" by Bloodshed.
In response to Nadrew
Hmmmm, thanks Naddy.
Avoid Visual C++ 6.0 like the plague.

Why? I've had a much easier time developing with it over DevC++.
In response to Theodis
It looks horrid, and isnt as configurable (IMO)

Sounds more like an asthetic choice than anything about functionality :P. No reason to tell other people to avoid it over something so subjective.
In response to Theodis
Agreed. Dev-C++ works fine if you want free software, but VC++ seems much easier to use (not that I've used it much).

With Dev-C++ I had to fight my way through morasses of linking errors and compile all the libraries I wanted to use myself. (And because Dev-C++ uses a compiler ported from Linux, I had to compile Linux libraries under Windows. Without being able to run makefiles. Blargh. I spent more time puzzling over compiler tantrums than I did actually programming.) That put me off C/C++ for a while. =\

VC++ has a sexy debugger IMHO

Dev-C++ has given me a lot more problems than Visual
