Marine man (game from video game programming on the fly vid)

You can download the game here at my web site at

Here's the final version of marine man (the game I developed in the demo movies entitled "video game programming on the fly"). I'm done working on it... at least until I feel like picking it back up again.

Since the video, I added the ability to shoot spears (via spacebar), rank up a score, and usb game pad to control the character.

Hi, I'm an allegro user too, although much worse than you. And I'm using linux as well. I was wondering, do you know how to add a background music to the game in linux?

In windows it is easy but in linux that MIDI_AUTODETECT thing just won't work. And I would love to have a midi music playing. Any suggestions?

Oh, by the way, nice work!

you need to emulate midi on linux. google for allegro patches.dat file and place it in cwd of your game. Then use MIDI_DIGMID instead of autodetect for the case of linux

u did all that just for this!!!!!!!!!... man i cant wait to leran how to do this i wonder how does it go with big video games

[concavator]

you have to remember that C/C++ are general purpose programming languages that can write anything from apps like firefox to your music player. They give you full control of the game development.  For big games, most programmers (myself included) build up the game engine in C++ and then write a higher level scripting language to control the game at a high level with commands such as "go_right" and "add_enemy x,y" etc. This is how I wrote my 3D hospital game.
