If you do not know what Allegro is, it is a C library who's main aim is to make programming the PC's hardware much easier. It has a wide range of features (graphics, 3D graphics, 3D maths, fixed-point maths, sound, user-input (keyboard, joystick, mouse), interrupts, etc., etc, etc). This makes Allegro ideal for game-programming in C or C++, but Allegro can also be used for any other sort of programming that involves the PC's hardware. Currently, Allegro is only available for DOS for use with the DJGPP compiler, but Linux and Windows95 versions are currently being developed. In fact, someday, Allegro may even migrate to platforms other than the PC. Allegro was written mostly by Shawn Hargreaves, and has contrtibutions from all over the world (in fact, anyone is welcome to submit some code for Allegro). Allegro is 100% freeware.
