Thread: allegro weirdness, <fstream> errors

For one thing, you're supposed to make it #include<allegro.h>, but I'm not sure if that will solve your problem or not. A couple more things that will help you out but that do not relate to your problem.

Do this
blit(buffer,screen,0,0,0,0, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H); instead of blit(buffer,screen,0,0,0,0,640,480);

In case you want to go back and change the resolution for the game you won't have to go back to every time you do 640, 480...so always do SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H, except when you initialize the graphics mode. Which brings me to my next point. You might as well init your graphics mode like this...

set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_FULLSCREEN,640,480,640 ,480);

Remember that the last two 640, 480 are for the virtual screen, so if you're not using any sort of virtual then you should set those to 0, 0 instead of 640, 480.

Never use rest(). When you're declaring rest(50) it will process at different speeds on different computers. Instead use a timer that will pause the game for 50 milliseconds.

Code:

//setting up a timer
volatile int counter;

void update_counter()
 {
  counter++;
 }

//initialize the timer
install_timer();
install_int_ex( update_counter, BPS_TO_TIMER(60));

//using in place of rest(50)
counter = 0;
while(counter < 3); /*this will pause the game for 1/20th
                                   of a second which should be the 
                                    equivalent of 50 milliseconds*/

Sorry, I may not have solved your problem, but the pieces of info I did tell you should help you out still.
