The Allegro library provides C/C++ programmers low level routines commonly
|
|
needed in game programming, such as input, graphics, midi, sound effects, and
|
|
timing. It is cross platform and works with many different compilers.
|
|
Originally developed by Shawn Hargreaves, it is now a group project with
|
|
contributions from all over the world! Some of its key features include:
|
|
* Ease of Use - comes with comprehensive documentation and examples
|
|
* Extensibility - if the built-in functionality isn't enough, there
|
|
are many add-ons available
|
|
* Cross Platform - without changing a single line of code, you can
|
|
create versions for Windows, OS X, Linux, DOS, and others! Works
|
|
with many compilers, including DJGPP and VC++
|
|
* Open Source - anyone can contribute, including you!
|
|
* Free - it won't cost you a dime, and there are no restrictions on
|
|
its usage
|
|
|
|
Allegro 4 can make use of sound patches like 'eawpats' for MIDI playback.
|
|
If 'eawpats' is installed first then this SlackBuild will create a
|
|
patches.dat from it.
