How to create allegro game window

In your blog, describe the steps needed to create an Allegro game window in 3-5 COMPLETE sentences.

I first opened a file and set up the basic code, including setting up the allegro library and the al_init. Before I do all of this I have to download allegro, and to do that you right click on the project name and click on manage NuGet Packages, then download allegro. After it is finished downloading type ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *gameWindow = NULL;, that is the variable you need to set up for the window. Then you type ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display = al_create_display(500, 500); to acutally create your game window and if you want to add al_set_window_position(gameWindow, 200, 200); to set the position og the game window on the screen. If you want to add  a title to the screen you just add this code al_set_window_title(gameWindow, ""); You also have to add these at the end
        al_flip_display();  :write whatever is in memory to the screen
al_rest(100.0);       :pauses game
al_destroy_display(gameWindow);     :clear memory

3 things I am grateful for


  1. A roof over my head 
  2. A outstanding education
  3. Friends and Family 

rpg and game maker

Why don’t game companies use programs like RPG Maker or GameMaker to create games?

They do not use those programs because they have advanced game engines and have millions of dollars to make a game. There are limitations to RPG maker and Gamemaker so they can't make the desired game they want.

My game

Reflect on your game so far. What are its strengths and weaknesses? Please write at least 3-4 sentences.

My strengths are I got all my items done and a locked room unless you get the key. So in the final room if you do not have all the parts to a weapon you die.

My weakness right now is the health system I am still working on that.

Using your juiciest descriptive language, describe the picture I emailed you in a way so that students in another class could draw it fairly accurately.

starcraft review comparison

What are some of the biggest differences between your Starcraft review and the one we read today? What changes would you like to make to your writing for your next review?

One big difference is that he uses big words and he actually wanted to do this. Next time I will use big words and good transitions.
