[gamertrends]

@sciofantasia bro can u teach me me total game programming with allegro

[TheMasamura112]

I hate this, all the videos I see does not supports the new Allegro language syntax, you initialize using, allegro_init(); I initialize using al_init(); OMG! you use allegro_keyboard(); I use, al_install_keyboard(); IS SO Different? do you have any possible fix for this? it seems that the version you're using is better no?

[ScioFantasia]

@TheMasamura112 I am using A4, the version you are using is A5.

I have a question. How do you make it so that the sprite can't pass the edges on the window? Example if you hold the left key it will keep going left even when it goes off the screen.

[ScioFantasia]

@matt55102 Let's suppose that your screen resolution in the game is set to 800x600. You would set up an if statement such that if the x position of your sprite is less than or equal to the max screen width (800) then increment the x position coordinate. This way, so long as your character's x position coordinate is less than or equal to 800, its position in the x direction will be incremented.

Thanks for making this tutorial. I'm a inspired game designer and programmer. I have been studying c++ for a year almost and I also took ton's of them in College. Studying the basics of c++ first is best because it makes learning allegro a lot easier. If you can, can you make some tutorials or show some of your video games. thanks.

hey my computer crashed when i did this, it said you can close out or debug it or something, help please

[ScioFantasia]

@nicklopacki14 Which compiler and/or IDE are you using? Did you install Allegro and link it with the project?
