What kind of operating system are you using? A compiler for almost every
programming language is available freely for almost every platform, but the
way that you get them is different.

If you are on linux, you should have access to gcc (for C) and g++ (for C++)
through your OS package manager, as well as compilers and interpreters for
languages that are  more user-friendly (Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, etc. ).
Many of these are probably already installed, just go to your terminal and
type the name of the compiler to see ("python", for example).

For C++ on Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio Express is free (
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/). You can also use C# (download
at the same link) which is probably more user-friendly. .exe installers for
nearly every other language will be available through the language makers'
websites.

Macs usually come with gcc, g++, javac (the Java compiler), and Python
installed. Just go to the terminal app and type in the name of your favorite
compiler. If you don't have it, then there should be a DMG download on the
website of the group that produces the compiler.

If you are rusty on your programming, I suggest working through a few
examples in whatever programming language/environment you choose before the
competition. There should be a tutorial for almost every language that
covers installation through building a simple program. This is especially
true if you are working on Windows in a popular language.

Good luck!
