Are you using Windows?

If so, and you use either MSVC or gcc/g++, use the precompiled binaries for allegro5. Although I've been able to compile allegro5 for myself, I don't see why the [dis]ability to compile the library should hold you back from being able to work on Monday.

If you need help, join us on freenode in the #allegro or #allegro-monday channels sometime and we'd be happy to see if we can't get you up and running.

Now THAT is surprising...Must have a jacked up build system if it doesn't compile under Linux.::)

I know it should work under Linux; it's a problem with my system, not with the game.

AFAIK, it's a problem with compatibility between my libstdc++ and A5. I'm currently reinstalling GCC (and hence libstdc++) from source; that may work and seems unlikely to brick my system. Not much else I can do.

EDIT:
Success. Reinstalling libstdc++ from source worked. Now I just have to learn the source code.
I'm more than happy to do some work on this; it sounds fun.

EDIT2:
I should probably also learn C++. Does anyone know of a good tutorial about C++ for C/Java programmers? I keep finding intro-to-programming tutorials, which are annoying because they bury the stuff I need in a mountain of 'this is a variable, this is a function' drivel.

Yes, I still follow this thread intermittently. I've been mostly gone since the thirteenth but will be back in a position of having absolutely nothing to do as soon as the year turns. Personally, I'm just waiting for someone to tell me what to do. On team projects, I do not consider it a good idea to start out by just going off and implementing something without any guidelines. It usually ends up being no more than a waste of time.

So, yes, as soon as someone gives me some form of instruction (I mean the kind less broad than, "look at the (out of date) todo file and pick something.") I should be able to do something.

Unless, of course, I ever get my hands on a DS again (unlikely on my negative income). In that scenario I'll likely find myself preoccupied with the forgotten allegro port.

I'll add my [nick]name to that list. One of the main reasons I've been working on

is that, well, no one has given me anything concrete to work on yet.

Leaders: what would you like me (us) to do?

Date? Time?

Tomorrow starts at 12:00am (or 12:01am for some of you who don't know whether :00 means "am" or "pm")... are we all meeting in the middle of the night? Middle of the day?

I'm US/Mountain.

And perhaps, to solve the problem of people seeing the date, people who are interested and have seen it should post here to say so and if anyone hasn't who is needed, someone PM them.

Mountain Time (GMT -7)

Whenever we do this, I'm going to have to do it sneakily... I'll need to lock myself away from the family to get some good chat time in.

Late nights often work really well for me, but since it's a vacation for me (and I'm not working), mid-day is doable.

Maybe as we make decisions, we can post rough notes onto the wiki pages, and then those who come late can be brought up to speed quickly?

Oh, and good idea of putting in a "bugs.txt" to the SVN trunk. At least I know where some of those bugs are coming from, which shouldn't be too difficult to blast.

Eh; even when I played WoW a lot, I still checked in.

I'm free pretty much any evening. -6 GMT here. I get home from work by 6PM.

Also, note that Trezker doesn't seem to have posted since the 8th. Anything aware of what's happening with our lead programmer?

I'm alive and well tomorrow, if all goes according to plan. EST for until next year, whence I'll be returning to a more sensible timezone (PST, that being).

Since it appears that we have some momentum now, we should probably meet on IRC pretty soon lest the project stagnate again. I can do it pretty much any time next week, sans new year's eve.
