Exiting a program I'm using Dev-CPP w/ Allegro lib. When running a program and trying to exit via clicking the "X" at the top right corner of the window, I get a warning, improper way to exit message. How do you get rid of this and make it where you may exit the pro...

My Tetris Clone I've been having bandwidth problems with geocities.com, so I moved my game to angelfire. This is my first completed game--a Tetris clone I call, "TetriX". Any feedback would be appreciated: graphics, gameplay, choice of music and sound effects, etc...

Frame Rate Qualms I'm creating a game in Dev-CPP using the allegro library. My game has a framerate of 400 fps, unless I add a rest() function; I'd like to regulate fps to 60. My concern is that if this game is played on different computers w/ different graphic...

Music suggestions for high score entry screen Hey Guys, What song do you suggest for a high score entry screen? I'm making a Tetris mod (big surprise!) and I need fanfare-like music when you enter your name for getting a high score. Also, what's the copyright rules for putting songs from...

Hi Scores Implementation using fstream I have a file for hi scores in the following format: Name1 100000 Name2 80000 Name3 70000 ... Name10 1000 I'm using fstream, but do not know all the functions associated with it. Basically, when a new score is registered, I want to be...

Fade Out - Allegro How do I fade in and fade out a BITMAP blitted to the screen? One way is to have the images available in a file, and blit them sequentially, but I want to do this with a function in Allegro.

Which Files Are Necessary? I've completed a game in Dev-C++ using the Allegro game library. Which files are needed for someone else to play my game on his/her computer? My guess is: - the .exe file - alleg40.dll - all the .o files (don't know if these are necessary...

Question About Framerate What are taken into consideration when determining framerate? I figure processor speed and type, memory, and video card speed and memory. I'm using Allegro for Dev-C++; I like to use the rest() function to control the framerate. If I were to consi...

Test My Game!!! How do you make it where you can click the "X" close button at the top right corner of the window and it won't give you the "Warning: forcing program shutdown may lead to data loss etc..." message?

Test My Game!!! I might put up the source code. It's kinda ugly though--one .cpp file has over 1000 lines. That's a lot for Tetris, I think.

Test My Game!!! Wow, thanks for the input! The zip files didn't work? Did you download from the angelfire site? Should work fine. Extra console--I couldn't figure how to get rid of this. I know it shows up in all the demos I create (I learned game program...

Need Idea Turned Into Game Hey, I've seen your stunt performed on MTV's Road Rules. Looks like a lot of fun! Scary, nonetheless, but fun. Hope you find someone who can help you!

My Tetris Clone I do have clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations for the blocks--they are CTRL and SHIFT. While playing the game, I found it awkward to control with two hands, so I allowed the UP key to do rotations as well--I think most players like to be able...

Frame Rate Qualms What would the Get_Current_Time() function do?

Music suggestions for high score entry screen Well, my main question is "What song do you suggest for a high score name entry screen?" Need a fanfare-natured song.

Hi Scores Implementation using fstream This seems all good; however what happens when you quit the game? Every time you restart, the data from the previous game won't be saved, which is why I created a file to store this info. I'll look at your link for fstream.
