Hello,

Well I was supposed to be working on my compsci final project, but instead:

I’ve created a skeleton project for Allegro 4.2.2 on Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express (their free IDE).  This project includes a 2d graphics viewport, which can be scrolled/shifted, and a soundbox for your waves. There’s keyboard and mouse handling. There’s a sample background, sprite, and sound which obviously cannot be used in a Ludum Dare entry. These are just to make sure everything works right away.

This project and more info is here: http://sites.google.com/site/roboticarts/Home/allegro-blank-msvc-project

Post a comment if anything doesn’t work or if anything does work.
