What compiler is used to create the windows executable?

What compiler is used to create the windows executable that people are meant to use to play the game?

mingw or mingw-64. AFAIK that’s just a rebundled GCC.

Thanks! Last time I tried to compile the code using whatever compiler comes with the Code Blocks IDE, I couldn’t seem to get the build to complete.

Are there any contributes that develops on windows? Or is everyone using gcc via cygwin or a linux distro?

Derp, that’s what this thread is about:
