I guess what I'd propose for a skeleton, to modify Kikaru's a bit:

1#include "allegro.h"
2 
3#define MODE GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED
4#define WIDTH 640
5#define HEIGHT 480
6 
7BITMAP *buffer;
8int logic_time = 0;
9void logic_timer() {logic_time++;}
10END_OF_FUNCTION(logic_timer)
11 
12void main()
13{
14    allegro_init();
15    install_keyboard();
16    install_mouse();
17    install_timer();
18    set_color_depth(32);
19    set_gfx_mode(MODE, WIDTH, HEIGHT, 0, 0);
20    text_mode(-1);
21    LOCK_VARIABLE(logic_time);
22    LOCK_FUNCTION(logic_timer);
23    install_int_ex(logic_timer, BPS_TO_TIMER(30));
24    
25    buffer = create_bitmap(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
26    
27    while (!key[KEY_ESC])
28    {
29    }
30    destroy_bitmap(buffer);
31    return;
32}
33END_OF_MAIN()

That way there's a portable allegro timer in there, and you can use it however you want.
edit: Although to make it really the case that all you need to remember are circle() and textprintf_ex(), we could put:

        blit(buffer, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
        clear_to_color(buffer, makecol(255,255,255));

into the loop as well.

After the competition I will change "allegro.h" to <allegro.h> and remove text_mode, and put it on the site as the "accepted" template.

[edit]
Will do.

Sadly, I failed miserably. I can't handle gravity, or so it seems. I am going to keep hacking at this for a few minutes.

I was going to add a timer to mine, and score on how fast the player landed, but for some reason with 10 minutes left I completely forgot to add that.
... it could use some value tweaking, too ...
but it's in!

My entry is somewhat complete. The only sad thing is that I spent the whole day on ways how to generate samples and music scores (tracker style) on the fly with as less source as possible. I really wanted to include sound and music.
sigh, time was simply too short .

Oh, and can anyone of you compile the entries for Windows? I can't even do this with mine, because all my Allegro installations are Linux ones.

Well, I actually finished the main game with 7 min to spare. Tweaked a few things, added a title, and double checked everything. And my source is here:

My entry is in too. I'm going to write up a basic readme this time, so please don't judge it before you read it . Of course many things were left off because the time was too short, but I'll finish it within the next half-hour and post a revised, 1,5 hour compo version .

As it is it's quite fun to play... for about 2 minutes . I have to tweak the constants - the time was added in at the last minute and it's way too lenient.

Yeah, mine came out way too easy.

I didn't have time to code the enemy AI properly, and now that I think about it, I really should have seeded the randoms.

It's the same game every time now, heh. Oops.

Oh well, still cool.

Just posted a revised version of mine, with a timer, and things moving a bit faster, so it's at least a little more interesting.

I think the 'upload a newer version' is for after-the-fact entry revisions; ie, so you can put up a 'fixed' version, which isn't for the competition, but rather just so you can show what it would have looked like if you'd had more time.

I just put up the revised version too - it has some basic eye-candy, and some very important constant tweaks to make the game better. I would recommend playing this version if you want to actually have fun .

So, does anyone actually need me to make the Windows binaries, or is everyone able to compile themselves?

Kikaru

Member #7,616

raises hand I am incapable. Reason: still using allegro v 4.0, also can't seem to get windows.h to work.

Epoch

Alright, I posted a revised version and I'm going to ask that my game be judged based off this; I didn't add any new features, but I tweaked the gameplay so that it's actually fun to play, and that the random has been seeded.

If I am judged off the revised version, I will extend the same courtesy to those who do so.

Oh, and windows binaries would be excellent.

Controls:
WASD/Arrow Keys - Move

Okay, I edited that into the post (above).

Note that I didn't include any of the revised versions; these are just the competition entries.
Also: To play mine use the arrow keys. UP to thrust, LEFT/RIGHT to turn.
