Its not available under DevPak installer
The codecutter version is not available as a DevPak installer (it is basically the same as the Devpak you have), but have you tried to install your DevPak under Code::Blocks using the updater/installer Code::Blocks plugin?
My teacher really wanted the uni to shift to either OpenGL / WinBGIm based graphics. Since OpenGL is rather too advanced for simple theory being covered, WinBGIm is the ideal choice.
Your teacher may have been thinking of OpenGL because it is portable to other operating systems. Your Uni may have (or want to have) some Linux labs.
For a simple (BGI-like) graphics library that works exactly the same the same under Windows and Linux, there is GRX (with SDL drivers), see
http://grx.gnu.de/ . Less intuitive than BGI, but very simple nonetheless (like BGI it is not event-driven. This is what makes both BGI and GRX simple for beginners). GRX works very nicely, but the documentation that comes with is is not the best. GRX also comes with a BGI emulation, handy if you have old turbo C programs that you want to port.
About 150 students have used GRX with SDL drivers under Code::Blocks 8.02 for half a semester under both Windows and Linux here. Students grumble at the beginning about the documentation, but soon get used to it. You just provide them with working examples, and off they go.
Our WinBGIm Code::Blocks installation will not be ready soon, but for GRX I could pass on to you, or whoever is involved in the installation at your uni all that is needed to get GRX projects installed seamlessly under Code::Blocks 8.02.
If interested in trying GRX under Code::Blocks, just send me a private message to get the libraries, project template and installation instructions that we used here.
