Crapy Language Game

[dejai]

Test Yourself in Spanish:

Here is a horrible Spanish language game riddled with bugs. My first attempt to do something with Allegro. I don't think it has a buffer :O. Oh well it was done on Linux and then ported to windows. Enjoy the pain. One nice thing is the game states, tell me what you think. (P.S, No I didn't spend a lot of time making my website I used drupal, added a theme and thats it :D)

Download Link:
http://www.dejaigames.com/projects/down ... nal.tar.gz

Installation Instructions:

Windows:
Find the binary inside, it should just run in a 640 x 480 window. It comes wit the necessary .dll etc.

Linux:
Compiled on Fedora 9. I would probably re compile it with codeblocks.

Code: Select all

su
yum install allegro allegro-devel

Then add the appropriate paths.

Alternatively you can attempt to run the binary. Run the debug version and make sure allegro is installed.

Sorry I don't have a makefile thats the next challenge.


Thanks:
I would like to thank you for taking a look at my project and giving me feedback in advance :D

Don't people know how to open tar.gz Just joking.

I've been working all day. So I download it at work, and I have nothing to extract it with. I downloaded some freeware program, but I didn't have ADMINISTRATIVE PERMISSIONS to install it!

So I'm going to have to wait until I get a few minutes free at home.

[dejai]

Thanks mate you can get a free version of win rar. I have been in Linux lala land for so long I don't bother with practicality for other operating systems. Where do you work?

[Falco Girgis]

On the Redstone Arsenal. I work for the government as a US Army Contractor. I'm a coop computer engineer.

Oh right, I downloaded this and forgot about it because it was taking more than 2 minutes.

[MarauderIIC]

Well, yes, it does seem to have some strange bugs. Like telling me I'm wrong because it's using the answer from the previous question. And because it had "= " before the answer. Also, leaving my answer blank seems to make it constantly display "test" for the answer?
The input seems to work well... And it changes between answer and question right... plays like an old DOS game (which isn't bad) :)
And the program seems to keep a lock on the directory after it's closed (can't delete the empty dir).
Work out the bugs, add some scoring, and it'd be pretty nice.

[dejai]

Thanks. I was more looking for advice on the game state engine with the code provided I know that the game is horrible. :P I wouldn't use allegro to make a nice game as I lack experience with its API. But once again thanks :D

I attempted to run it under DarWINE on my Macbook, but I got the old OpenGL error.

It then displays it with a black window. Ah well...

Why did you use DarWINE when the project is built for Linux? If DarWINE is what it says it is, then why would you try and use it to run a linux program. Excuse me for my ignorance.

The Darwine project intends to port and develop WINE as well as other supporting tools that will allow Darwin and Mac OS X/ppc users to run Windows Applications, and to provide a Win32 API compatibility at application source code level.

I was running the Windows binary that was included with the tar.gz I downloaded from the link you provided in your original post. I haven't attempted to compile the Linux source yet.
