You have created a grotesque monstrosity, but good effort!

Unless we're talking about snippets of code or basic tutorials, you really shouldn't be thinking about writing reusable/educational code until you've coded collaboratively. By this I mean that you've either studied programming at degree level, trained and worked as a professional software developer, or contributed to peer-reviewed open-source projects.

On the bright side (and I don't mean this in a nasty way), your website is so glaringly ugly that one would need to be very naive to take it seriously. So naive, in fact, that one might even stand to gain something by looking into it in more detail.

There is a certain retro charm to something so unprofessionally designed yet painstakingly and lovingly made. So I take my hat off to you. However, I will say this: you need to move on. You need to embrace convention before you can begin to think about being "different". You've clearly got a lot of enthusiasm and energy, however it pains me to see so much effort put into something that is a dead-end. I don't think you're going to learn an awful lot more until you work on something different, so I urge you to drop it and ideally ditch Allegro altogether and use something new.

Oh, and implementation details are not features.

This is horrible advice. I've never studied programming professionally or at an institution of higher learning, and I've written an entire library of GUI code and extensions to the Allegro 4 library that are fully reusable and dependable. I'm entirely self taught in C and C++ and I think I've done a damn good job of it for 5 years worth of learning and study.

Remember that you're more familiar with it than anyone else on the planet. It's not like it's a flash site but it needs some visual simplification.

We are a tough crowd but think of us like fellow students in an art class criticizing each others work constructively. Your projects have a lot of potential and it would be a shame if most people were driven away by the website.

Kewl, post a link to your game (and source code don't forget) so we can check it out.

Hey good job, man.

You finished something. Most people here never do that.

Props.

He may have been talking about the OP.
