That's what I did the last few times. I applied it to Christmas hack as well because of bad timing of how things fell into place.

You can only rate the same rule once, regardless of when you rated it.

Poland's weak point is the lowlands?

I'm not sure how what I posted that caused this? I even checked my spelling.

I'm going to go ahead and prepare my back-out excuse now. I don't have internet at home, so I may not be able to get online to turn in my final work, because the library is closed on Sundays.

I found a cool set of rules that I am using in a little competition with my brother, and this was on my second "roll." I guess I was just lucky! The rules were:

1. Be the good and evil guys in the game

2. The game must have a concept of time

3. The game must have multiple beginnings

4. You can change one word in any of the rules

So I have hope that the Rule-o-Matic will be good to us!

Then the sentence is wrong.

But

every would work

I know code re-use is allowed, but does it have to be from code that is available for anyone (ie online), or can it come from anywhere?

Good call.

But what if you changed it to "can't?" Would that create some kind of paradox?

Well, I was referring to a project template I have that gets Allegro started, sets up timers and a few global variables, displays a simple splash screen and creates a basic game loop.

It's extremely generic, without any code specific to any particular type of game.

I've attached a copy, and anyone who wants to can use it (though you might want to change the "by LennyLen" part ).

Sweet.

I actually have very little pre-written code that would be of much use, as I don't do much game-programming. But I figure if I can get a few simple tasks out of the way, I can concentrate on actually working on a game during the time.

I'll most likely re-use the animation class (attached) I wrote for one of my games as well.
