I might start adding details as I'm programming with Allegro in my free time.

They'll be for D + DAllegro, but it'd be nice if the wiki/whatever had multiple code versions that you could select a tab for a C version, C++ version, D, etc. I know there's websites I've seen that have that but I can't remember which. It's not essential but just throwing it out there if that's an option.

I don't think Github's Wiki would allow that.

A good goal would be to clean up the quick start guide and Allegro Vivace. It needs to be consistently good across at least the 3 major platforms. I want to get at least the quick start guide to a state where I can link it directly from the homepage.

I tried several times to make a Spanish version of the Allegro 5 guide. But I always lose them, so I quit. :/

I've closed a few of the issues on there, but don't currently have a Windows install handy to look at these:

- https://github.com/liballeg/allegro_wiki/issues/15
- https://github.com/liballeg/allegro_wiki/issues/8

Anyone able to help out?

I replied to both issues. Wasn't aware they even existed. PEBKAC.

Is anyone willling to port this article from a.cc to the wiki?

I don't use MSYS2 so I can't edit or update as necessary.

UPDATE
I've been working on the Collision Detection sections of the wiki. Let me know what you think. They are still WIP, but there is a decent amount already.

Very nice add. I can't wait for the 3D collisions :-D

The 3D collisions are going to be harder, but I can do the following with a little work :

1) Point vs plane
2) Point vs 3D triangle
3) Picking buffers (Mark Oates, you have some experience with this, correct?)
4) Sphere vs Sphere (Overlap, sweep, intercept)
5) Axis aligned prism vs prism

I've tried to make navigation simpler, by adding in links to the parent page. Are there any other 2D collisions you want to see? Rotated rectangle can be accomplished with triangle vs triangle. Or rotate both so one is on the origin, and then do point vs AABB.

I'd like to see the MSYS2 installation page get finished. That one is pretty important and is still missing.
