Video game programming on the fly (part 2)

The thrilling conclusion to the first video. Here I add a cool background, simple enemies that can kill you if you swim into them and slowly increase the "difficulty" over time.

Game code is available at my web site: http://ltsword.allegronetwork.com

omg you have thee WORST taste in music EVER!!!

[concavator]

haha i picked a random song to replace the old. i had a much cooler song until youtube removed the music due to copywright

[Churck]

I'm really impressed!

Could you recommend me a book about game mathematics and others about background game (including "moving" background) in allegro?

I got a lot of books but no one of them go deep in those aspects.

thanks

[concavator]

unfortunately I can't. I never learned from books. every game programming book I read sucked. To be honest, I may write one some day because of this. I learned from trial & error, editing demos (copy-paste-edit technique), and lots of internet forums. just keep at it and you'll get better with time. try to write a game right now with the limited knowledge you have, it'll be frustrating as hell but you'll learn alot.

i'm c++ programmer but what is the diference use

static void , is mnore quick?

and you use static int const why u use #define?

[concavator]

static is a safe-ism to prevent variables from leaking across multiple cpp files. its a technicality and a habit of mine, you can safely ignore it here
