    Allegro...?

    Hiya... I'm having some troubles learning OpenGL and DirectX and I was wondering... should I start with Allegro instead? Thanks .

    Personally, I've found allegro much easier to learn than OpenGL since it doesn't require all that windows madness. Dunno about dx though.
    Illusion and reality become impartiality and confidence.

    its can do most things direct draw can.
    although both are depending on the programmer.
