Is there a Mikalleg that is supplied > with Allegro 2.2? I don't know of anyone who has put together a distribution merging the two, but it isn't really neccessary. Guan Foo Wah recently posted a description of how to make them work together: search the mail archives for "allegro mikmod". Basically you just need to get the original distributions of both, install them in the normal manner, and then go through allegro.h replacing all references to "SAMPLE" with "ALLEGRO_SAMPLE" or something like that. Alternatively (I haven't tried this, but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work...) you shouldn't be able to include both headers unchanged if you write in your source something along the lines of: #include "mikmod.h" // not sure what the filename is: // I've never used mikmod myself. #define SAMPLE ALLEGRO_SAMPLE #include "allegro.h" #undef SAMPLE > Also, I've heard of many Allegro add-ons, like Alex, are > they worth downloading and what do they include? If they do something that is useful for you, then of course they are worth looking at! As to what they contain, there are some brief descriptions in the links section on my webpage, but you'll have to download them to find out all the details. Alex contains mainly routines for making tile-map games, but also has some neat image fading and lighting code. -- Shawn Hargreaves - shawn AT talula DOT demon DOT co DOT uk - http://www.talula.demon.co.uk "Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament"
