| Synopsis:
This is a bounty to get the game development library Allegro ported to AmigaOS 4.0. Versions for the other operating systems like OS3.9, Morphos and Aros should be relatively easy to compile from the OS4 sources.
| | Bounty: | 602 EUR Out of 644 EUR originally submitted. | | Target: | Total: 602/1000 EUR Monthly: 0/50 EUR | | Status: | Open | | Category: | development/library | | Description: | Allegro is very similiar to SDL.
Allegro is a portable library mainly aimed at video game and multimedia
programming, originally started by Shawn Hargreaves for the DJGPP compiler
in a mixture of C and assembler.
According to the Oxford Companion to Music, Allegro is the Italian for
«quick, lively, bright». It is also a recursive acronym which stands for
«Allegro Low LEvel Game ROutines».

Why?
Loads of games and apps are written using this library. If we would get
this ported
to AmigaOS 4.0 it would make porting of those apps/games a breeze.
Requirements
None, apart from a willing developer/team. If it's a team we leave it up to
the team to split the money between them how they see fit.

Allegro is gift-ware. It was created by a number of people working in
cooperation, and is given to you freely as a gift. You may use, modify,
redistribute, and generally hack it about in any way you like, and you do
