Author's Description: The Game is an online role playing game that I am working on in my spear time. My goal is to learn game programming as I program this game project. This project is based upon the RPG tutorial located at http://agdn.cjb.net/ . I am also hoping that my coding style will provide new allegro game programmers with the necessary materials to produce higher quality allegro games. All of my code is coded in Microsoft visual C++ 6.0 my language and compiler of choice. The code for this game is included as well.
