Hey, I'm Italian and I obviously know what "Allegro" means, it's an Italian Word... In second way, who decided this name when the library was created ? Perhaps I should go to the credits help page... I'm waiting for your answer ... Ciao |

IIIRC, originally Allegro meant nothing. Later the original author, Shawn Hargreaves, found out he could write Allegro as a recursive acronym. __________ |

Quote: IIIRC, originally Allegro meant nothing. Well it must have meant something to Shawn, even if it's not known. Punching down random keys will unlikely turn out to form the word Allegro. |

In English, Allegro is term used in musical scores. It's usually written under the notes and it means that the tempo / music should start to get a bit more lively. ----------------- |

Original author Shawn Hargreaves did a music related degree at the University of York (where all the best people went) so he almost certainly knew exactly what Allegro meant. [My site] [Tetrominoes] |

Smoke is Dangerous, Rick Dangerous, I don't Smoke, I drink... when the winter come forth I ablaze the infernal fortress , between Trolls and withces, I'm Ablazed too... I'm very impressed about the true of the Allegro name. It's like a videogame story where the everything have a meaning and we are a part of an enormous system, and every move we made has been already anticipated and calculated... in a Matrix/Deus Ex/cpu MAcroSystem!!! (ok, I drink whiskey with coca-cola ) Nice drunk... night to you! Ciao |

Was it along the lines of, "If you don't release 4.2.1, I'll ..."?

Hehe... The phone call was actually from someone who wanted to port Allegro to something or other for his graduation project and wanted some information about the internals. I told him it would be best to post on the mailinglist for information, but I don't think he has... |

Maybe it was nothing to do with Allegro and you really have a stalker who has pictures of you posted all over his house. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

wikipedia says said: Initially standing for "Atari Low-Level Game Routines", Allegro was originally created by Shawn Hargreaves for the Atari ST in the early 1990s
But from what I remember of the Allegro 3 docs, I don't agree with this entry. After all, it's Allegro, not ALLEGRO. |

Quote: Punching down random keys will unlikely turn out to form the word Allegro. In this Universum Shawn happened to type the word Allegro. In another Universum he typed Potrzebie. Musical degree? No. That was in another Universum, too. There he typed Adagio. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

You know, it is said that if a monkey starts smashing random keys on a keyboard it will write down the complete Divine Comedy in a "finite" (although VERY LONG) time. [FMC Studios] - [Caries Field] - [Ctris] - [Pman] - [Chess for allegroites] |
