    Without being familiar with the Allegro library, I would have to say that it should be possible to implement some form of program that completes this task using a graphics library, but I got the impression that the OP wanted something like a typical windows GUI, which might not be as easy with a graphics library since things like buttons may have to be defined, and there still needs to be some way of reading the keyboard values.

    From the Allegro Introduction:

    If you are a total beginner to C programming, Allegro won't help you much. As a C library (C stands for the name of a programming language), Allegro presumes you know how to write C programs, compile and link them to produce executables. Sorry, you will have to learn how to do that first.
    [edit]
    I would add that the same is very much true of the Win32 API.

    No No's:
    fflush (stdin); gets (); void main ();


    Goodies:
    Example of fgets (); The FAQ, C/C++ Reference


    My Gear:
    OS - Windows XP
    IDE - MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition


    ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI
