Hi, first post here.
I've just taught myself C++ by reading a couple of books.
Even though I haven't really created any of my own programs yet, I feel that I 'get' C++ and programming.
I want to my first program to be a video game, or something that just exhibits the very basic concepts of a game (like Atari style game), something simple.
From what I've dug up on the internet, Allegro might be a good library(?), but all I've ever used is Windows. Can I even use something like Allegro on Windows? I mean, sure the game itself might run on Windows, but can I write the code in Windows and still use Allegro?
Also, do you advise that I stay away from Allegro since I am a beginner. If so, what should i do to write a simple game. Preferable a rpg.
