I tried it, worked fine for me. I managed to destroy both cruisers, but ran out of torpedoes and phasers didn't drain the stations shields fast enough. A few comments. - You should use ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW for fullscreen "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

Hey, why didn't you tell me there was a binary for Windows??? And how come you didn't update to 5.2.1.1 yet??? Did you find a solution to the KEY_CHAR problem? It's interesting for a demo. Some things I noted are that the Klingons have lots of torpedoes, and the phasers run out of power pretty quickly. It's a good start. I haven't gotten to explore everything yet, but it's fun so far. I'm glad to see you're making progress on this. I've been waiting for this for a while... My Website! | EAGLE GUI Library Demos | My Deviant Art Gallery | Spiraloid Preview | A4 FontMaker | Skyline!

Why ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW instead of ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN ? I thought the last one was the "real" fullscreen and the first is a "windowed" version. You will be able to get new photontorpedoes from federation starbases. @Edgar Reynaldo: The universe is already filled with planets and a klingon and a romulan empire. But there is a lot to be added yet. .. Thanks... Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

tl;dr: Windowed fullscreen is better in both performance and stability. Use it, there is no penalty that I remember. ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW is more stable than ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN. I don't know the details but it is related to the way the game will talk with the graphics card. Alt-tabbing and switching screens is better and less likely to cause unexpected bugs. Also, on 5.1 I had a nasty bug in Linux that caused a SEGFAULT whenever I used ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN instead of ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW.

This sounds interesting... but the link sends me to an "Access Denied" error page. Could you create a new download link? I'd love to test it out!
