I am also considering giving up on Allegro. Not that I've worked on it recently. I was never able to get the performance out of it I was expecting.
In what way was the performance bad?
It was/is too slow. I tried using the inline assembly routines they have but that made things even slower.
Perhaps OpenGL would be a better approach.
I wonder how well OpenGL handles the sort of pixel graphics we need.
Don't know.

I'll have a look.

I'm not sure where the source for this is. I *think* it was created using Cygwin.
I've downloaded Xaos a couple of times and I think I've looked at it once. Jonathan
