I`m trying to make a dedicated server program for my game using allegro for the graphics. I was wondering .. can u make an allegro app work in background ? If you can how ?

Yes.

I know you can and I've done it before (where the app continues to run when it has lost focus), but I can't seem to find the command needed atm. Just thought I'd verify that it is doable. ;)

set_display_switch_mode()

And it's "you", not "u".

If SWITCH_BACKGROUND fails you'll probably want to revert to SWITCH_BACKAMENSIA
