Allegro Dev C++ Tutorials

  

Welcome to the Allegro 5 Wiki!

Software testing. To create an Allegro/Dev-C project that can be used to test the Allegro installation, do the following: Start Dev C. Select File/New/Project. Select Windows Application, enter the project name, and click OK. Specify the folder that will contain the project and Save. Allegro works on almost everything you can possibly imagine (maybe not EVERYTHING) Anyhow i think learning SDL is a bit harder (looking at the tutorials) That's because allegro is just simple c so i doesnt make things more confusing with classes.

Allegro is a cross-platform game programming library written in C.

Installing the new Orwell Dev C++

This is a temporary correction to installation instructions forDev-C++. For now, I am leaving the old instructions below.

Okay, so briefly, here is what you need to do:

  1. Go to the Orwell Dev-C++website (link opens new window)
  2. Scroll down the page (below what is currently the 5.3.0.4 Releasedannouncement) for the Download heading
  3. You can select either of the first two options:
    • The setup which includes MinGW32 4.7.0 can be downloaded here (25MB).
    • The setup which includes TDM-GCC x64 4.6.1 can be downloaded here (35MB).
    If you use the 64-bit compiler (the second option),you may need to force 32-bit when compilingwith cisp360 program object code that I provide for some of your exercises.Under Tools/Compiler Options you will need to select theTDM-GCC 32bit profile.
  4. Click on the here link corresponding to the compiler you want,then save the file.
  5. Execute the Setup file, and follow directions..

NI recently released NI Massive v1.3, which introduces a new file format for Massive sounds, the.nmsv format – people have been asking how to convert the old.ksd file format to the new.nmsv format. https://kunin.netlify.app/massive-13-vst-download.html. Here is the answerActually it’s very simple – if you have hundreds of sounds you can batch convert the sounds.Simply click ‘ file’ and then ‘ ksd batch convert’IT will also keep all your.ksd files for you.Remember though, you won’t be able to make.ksd files again – so sound designers and those who sell patch think twice before upgrading to NI Massive 1.3What are your thoughts on the new format and upgrade – enjoying it?

For CISP 499 Students

CISP 499 students will need to install the Allegro graphics libraryto do work on their home computers. This library is not neededfor CISP 360 students.

Installing the Allegro Graphics Library from Source Code

I recommend that you install the pre-compiled library if possible(described in the next section). However, it is possible thatit may not work for your operating system, so you may need todo the installation manually by compiling the library from sourcecode. To do this, make sure that you get the correct or latestversions of the software, direct your browser tohttp://alleg.sourceforge.net/wip.html, and obtain all420.zip(the Alegro source code),and dx80_mgw.zip (direct X compatibility library). Install as directed.
