Hey Guys,

I currently have an assignment due for Allegro 4.2.3

I have to make use of classes and its a really shitty programming language

Can anyone direct me or show me some good tutorials on the language?

This is due like 9th of March...I don't think Im going to get much done, Im being marked on the coding and wont be marked down on art.

Thanks :3

You mean allegro graphics lib for c++?
Thats the only allegro I can think of, if yes, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS-LuKM29e8

That guy is amazing

I'm assuming the library you need to use is this http://alleg.sourceforge.net/readme.html. I have no experience with it but i think i can point you in the right direction with it.

Allegro is a library not a programming language, you will be programming in C++ to use the Allegro library. And you will need to write your own barebones engine in C++, which you will then use Allegro for things like, drawing to the screen, loading files, getting keyboard input etc. It kind of looks like SDL but not as well documented!

I had a quick look for tutorials on Allegro 4 and they seem few and far between, but these ones seemed helpful. Here and Here.

If you have no idea about object oriented programming (classes), I suggest this tutorial: https://www.wibit.net/course/Intro_OOP.
Another from the same guys on C++: https://www.wibit.net/course/CPlusPlus.

If you need help on a basic game engine structure, i'll be happy to help.

Liam.

Do agree that it seems kinda bad.

I would like more deadlines and work on my Uni

All I have is theory classes that you won't use in the future... and programming very little.. No wonder 90% of my course doesn't know how to create a class in JAVA..
