So yeah, just like the title says, What the heck guys, with this syntax! I'm going crazy, because I'm starting with Allegro and I don't know what to do, first I try to follow up some tutorials in youtube, but then I realize that the tutorials in youtube or in any other source are different!, most of the things I've saw is that they are outdated as for the syntax we speak. For example when I see some tutorials and they want to initialize allegro, they do it like very easy (i.e. allegro_init();) but when I want to initialize it I have to do it this way al_init(); because otherwise I will get few errors! What the heck guys, like I said before I'm starting and I would like some support from maybe other people that are already experienced users in gaming programming or Allegro programming talking. I will be very grateful if someone jumps me over this problem, and give me a hand on this. |

allegro_init is from Allegro 4. Check the manual for details. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline! (Missile Defense) Eagle and Allegro 5 binaries | Older Allegro 4 and 5 binaries | Allegro 5 compile guide |

Allegro 5 is completely different from Allegro 4. You'll have to read / watch Allegro 5 tutorials. |

Yeah I saw that already and I mean the manual thing, but it's just a lot of functions, which I don't know if I'm supposed to know how to use them, or if simply I need to read them and apply them randomly and "experiment" with them so I can finally master the library, or something, I would just like to know, if you can "feed" me since I don't have actually any source which enables me to give me full examples/tutorials appart from that manual page, to start making something on Allegro. |

You can look at the Allegro 5 tutorials on the wiki for more information. My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline! (Missile Defense) Eagle and Allegro 5 binaries | Older Allegro 4 and 5 binaries | Allegro 5 compile guide |

Ok thank you both for supporting me here, and I would like to ask 1 more question and I think I will end this topic here, If someone else wants to give further support I will be thankful too, but, can you help me on any tutorial on GUI Programming Introduction with Allegro? or how to write/make/draw few simple buttons on the window? |

So far there is only one published GUI addon for Allegro, made by jmasterx - I can't think of the url though - google for 'agui' on 'allegro.cc' and you should find it.

Why don't you learn how to program first.
