So even when your framework will be complete you do not intend to release it? Do you plan on making money with it?
Anyway, looking at the code it seem like your framework is nice and interesting though I didn't see anything about image animations (your objects only changed in place/size/opacity but seem not to change their image), and while I can't really think of a better way (partly because I haven't given it any thought ) it seems pretty likely that in the future you will end up extending your framework to support more animation types when the currently defined constant ones just won't do for some complex animation that you will need.

Cool, that's your decision, I'm just curious.
If I ever wrote something worthwhile I'd probably release it publicly (unless of course I was paid for it under an agreement that does not allow me to release it), in the worst case scenario it would be poorly documented.
Partly for the bragging rights, partly to be helpful to other people.

Man that game was so easy I didn't even download it and I beat it.

Okay I'll probably try it.

Edit:
The game takes awhile to init, and then I see some images, but it takes ~3-4 seconds to render each frame. Unplayable for me. Sounded fun though. Are you doing something with the large background each frame? Something takes a very long time for each frame.

EditEdit:
Even after adding 2GB of RAM, it doesn't improve. I don't know what it is.
On a somewhat irrelevant note can someone tell me if 2 sticks of DDR1 RAM of equal size is redundant.

Do you force OpenGL upon the user?

No.

Felix, what does your memory and processor usage look like when the program is running?

D3D is something I use for PSX emulating. It runs fine for me. OpenGL2 does not No graphics card, no pixel-shader.

I'll try the given advice though.

Also, I run other games just fine. Some Allegro games too. Except for the ones that need XNA Framework...haven't gotten that to work yet. My own programs run too, (4.2/4.4) But Allegro Programs use all my CPU. My "prettiest" program uses all my CPU, but barely any slow-down. This program uses a bunch of CPU too. I added 2GB of RAM and it didn't help any, I'm guessing the absence of a graphics card is a problem, but dang 4-5 seconds for each frame.

Edit: Enabling OpenGL pwns the program during initialization. No speed up for D3D.
Shrinking the images did nothing for speed, and neither did deleting them.
Does Allegro 5 have the Five Finger Salute option? I keep having to use Windows Task Manager to close the program. I guess the close button only checks once a loop, and well I don't get many loops.

I don't really know what happened. Maybe Allegro 5 hates me.

EditEdit:

Uh, I'll get to that screenshot, but I can say the CPU spikes on start-up.

EditEditEdit: Cool. I didn't know the quote tag works without a specified name.

Since I had some problems with your Haku game I decided to download this one and test it. Game refreshes at one frame per second at best, needles to say unplayable, are there some configurations available in order to increase game performance? My hardware is a P4 2400MHz, 1GB ram, FX5700le.

What sort of events? From the screenshots its a relatively simple game? Do you have any other Allegro 5 programs so I can see if my computer can't handle them?

Edit: Okay for real I'll get those specs. Also I forgot to say you spelled shield wrong in the files, and why is there a vignette2 and not a vignette1?

The mountain shapes are from just moving the windows around. The plateau looking thing is the program running. I guess my computer has a bad CPU.

Your post doesn't help either. Perhaps your mom can help solve the issue.
All informalities aside, I was just addressing this post:
