Frameworks are for pussies.
I don't even have Allegro installed yet.

I know about case-sensitive file-name with Linux as the person that hosts my site is using Linux and I have to be careful with my PHP scripts. Just hope one of the rules are not Networking as I only know how to use WinSock and most of you should know that is windows only and that I would need to learn how to do it for Mac and Linux, or I could use a bonus Act if there is one to get rid of a rule |

Desmond Taylor said: I will try my best to write cross platform code. However I have never compiled or wrote anything in Linux. I will however only be using the allegro 5 libs and addon's so they are cross platform. I wouldn't have bothered writing this but it seems that some many of the users on here use Linux
bamccaig said: The only thing you should have to worry about if you're only using Allegro is to keep file paths case-sensitive and use slashes ("/") instead of backslashes ("\\"); both of which any sane person would be doing regardless. Otherwise, Allegro takes care of the platform specifics for you. One thing that is important to think about is line endings when opening text files in text mode. If you create text files, make sure you use Unix line endings. _____________________ |

I always use "\n" anyway's, That seems to work with both Windows and Linux created test files XD. It's "\r\n" in Windows right? I haven't used that in years so I could be wrong there :O |

Even the startup/shutdown stuff, and different include file pathes...

So I wanted to make a second blog post, but it won't let me. Is the speedhack blog down?

Are there any Bonus rules that aren't simply 'you can ignore rule X'? Or as I like to think, the 'you can go ahead and use the game your wrote over the past 2 months and simply use the bonus to negate any issue' rule Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

Neil Walker said: Are there any Bonus rules that aren't simply 'you can ignore rule X'? Given that the only rules are:
There aren't many options for a bonus rule... If there were some sort of point system that affected winning, then bonus rules could be more like +5 points ... but I'd rather winning simply be based on votes. |

I think text mode is platform specific so I think certain operations will require you to manually handle different EOL -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Interesting.
you guys crack me up 
Yes, this can matter as well.
If you specify binary mode then it will do exactly as you tell it. Just make sure that any text data files that you create with an editor, etc., uses UNIX line endings and you'll be fine.
