Hi Codeforces,

When I started learning C++ as a first-year student, I bounced between two options. VS Code looked great, but I spent more time installing MinGW and fixing configs than writing code, just to get <bits/stdc++.h> to work. Every time I switched machines, like the PCs in the lab or at a contest, I had to do it all over again. And it wasn't just me: a lot of my classmates got stuck at the same step before writing a single line of code. Dev-C++ just worked, but it felt stuck in the past, and there was nothing I could change about it.

I'm also the kind of person who likes making my coding space feel like mine. So at some point I thought: why not build the IDE I actually want to use, one that my classmates could just install and start coding with?

That became Sameko Dev C++. It's free and open source, and the goal is simple: as easy as Dev-C++, but modern and yours.

GCC 16 comes bundled on Windows, with bits/stdc++.h precompiled, so a typical solution builds in about 500-700 ms on my laptop. Install it and start coding.
Input / Output / Expected panels with AC / WA, and Competitive Companion support to pull tests from Codeforces / AtCoder.
A GDB debugger that shows vector, map, set... in a readable way, plus an "Auto dry run" that steps through your code by itself.
You can restyle almost everything: colors, themes, even a background image or video.
