I like that one too -- it's neat. Umm, sorry about the site being down earlier today, it's back up again, maybe cable company killed the internet while I was at school and I had to come home and manually ressurect it -- it's back up now, so feel free to register make announcements, etc... (no data was lost or anything, the site was just offline)

If anyone ever decides to use that logo for anything, I will personally come to their house and break their kneecaps*. Let's bury that thing in frozen carbonite, burn the carbonite, feed the ashes to hungry dogs, burn the dogs, and freeze the remains in carbonite. Then blast it into space. * Not really. -- |

What's more important for a demo game, making an example which shows off a lot of Allegro, or soemthing that might not show as much, but is a fun game? Or should we have two sections? |

I'd say try to do both, but the emphasis should be on how it shows you to use the library and what it is capable of. We need a demo where we can tell people to look at the source to see how it's done. |

The only registered users, as of right now, are me, and someone who goes by "lucky_monkey" but no project for him yet... I've got a project started, if I will finish it, no idea -- I've got two huge programming final projects due for this quarter on the 16th... So the site might not get any TLC from me until after that date (which might be after the demo compo is over, and I might not get to make/finish my game Feel free to register, put up downloads, etc, there's no file size limit for the zip files/image files, but be respective that one image is supposed to be small, and one big... (maybe an enlarged version of the small?) anyway... The site seems to be chugging along just fine right now -- I wonder who can make X-G's post into a game? "Launch frozen dog remains into space!" edit: by the way -- as far as legality goes, can we use public domain gfx/sfx/music in our game?

I also think it's only fair to announce the deadline for the end of the competition two weeks in advance. I think Elias also has a point that we should try to synchronize the release with the next release of AllegroGL if one of those is forthcoming too. Quote: edit: by the way -- as far as legality goes, can we use public domain gfx/sfx/music in our game? As long as you know for sure that it is free, I guess so. But if you do, you should credit whoever made it originally and probably contact them regardless. Bear in mind that if it ships with Allegro, it implicitly falls under Allegro's license and I think the author has to give permission for his work being distributed under this license. |

If it's in the actual public domain you can do absolutely whatever you want with it... -- |

Some weeks ago I read a book about video game making. I had some ideas about a simple space-shooter. It would have:
Now I have some free time, so may be I can finish it, but I'll need help to create some enemy waves, graphics and music. [edit] Also it has more than one C file. May I keep it multi modular or should I put all in one file? And should I put the main funcion in the bottom of the file? I prefer to put it the first. ----------------- |

YeeHaw -- 4 users now! -- 2 projects -- wow this is going to eat up a lot of disk space -- I better upgrade to a 10mb hdd... anyway... It's 1AM, -- Hey Evert, I was thinking maybe you should sign up, and I can change that news post over to being in your name -- (can't change a news post over to a non-account, and I didn't want to make an account for you, when you could make one on your own, etc...)

Ok Evert -- Now you've posted it Quote: That doesn't sound like much... Nevermind -- I was playing with the idea that it was 1am and I didn't feel very normal. No substance abusage was involved.

If it's a fun game that's a plus, but it's not nescessarily the point of a demo game.
) anyway...
I just managed to get to work through half a metre of snow and dysfunctional trains and public transport (luckily, I could get a ride).
