Heres my first program. Tell me what you think, if there are any
structure errors or whatever. I dont think there are, but then again.
Im just a newbie...

P.S.> Sorry about the Word wrap. :(

-------- USING DJGGP/ALLEGRO FOR DOS --------

// Program by Twisted Matrix - My first graphical c program...
// Uses ALLEGRO and the DJGPP compiler

#include <stdlib.h>   // Which of these i acually use in this program
#include <stdio.h>    // is beyond me. Heh heh. I know i use Allegro.h.
:)
#include <allegro.h>

main()
{
  int x=0;      /* Lets define some local variables */
  int col=0;    /* Everyone loves integers! :)      */

  /* Initiate the Allegro library for use in this program */
  allegro_init();
  install_keyboard();
  set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0);

  /* Lets draw the 256 color palette shall we... */
  for (x=0; x<639; x++)
    { col++; if (col>255) { col=0; }
      vline(screen, x, 0, 479, col); }

  /* Now lets write a message on the screen and wait for a key press.
*/
  textout_centre(screen, font, "My first c program using
DJGPP/ALLEGRO", 320, 230, 15);
  textout_centre(screen, font, "By: Twisted Matrix
(Homie_dont_play_dat AT Yahoo DOT com)", 320, 240, 15);
  readkey();

  return 0; // Can anyone tell me whats so special about 0? Why 0?
            // I mean, whats so special about it? Is is an exit code of
            // some kind? Can i use any number I want or none at all?
            // How about return 69; or return; ? Would those work?
}
