Yes there is. Go to http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ (the Allegro
Homepage) and click on the "Documentation" link.

There you will find a link to George Foot's "Allegro Vivace" tutorial, which
is precisely what you are looking for. There are also a couple of other docs
you might want to look at while you're there.

Another thing to look out for is the HTP (How To Program) Pong tutorial from
the same author (am I plugging you enough yet, George?).

Why not join the mailing list then - that's what it was created for. The
mailing list is effectively a mirror of the newsgroup (or is it the other
way round?) so provided your mail server can handle over 50 messages per
day, go to http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ to find out how to join.
