You will need Windows and Direct X 3.0 or above to use euAllegro. euAllegro comes with many examples to do some basics like putting bitmaps on the screen, double buffering, collision detection etc etc. These are a great place to start as many of the demos are very short and easy to understand. If you are new to programming I suggest you download some of the many full games with source code from the RDS web site. You should pick one or two fairly simple games (to start with) and examine the source code in detail and perhaps make a change or two, or change some graphics .. anything to get a bit more experience. If you have any questions about euAllegro you know where to find me! Ray Smith
