Proposal for amigabounty.net [Allegro Bounty]

Hi!

The efforts with amigabounty.net is really great, and it's really
appreciated.
I like porting stuff to AmigaOS 4, but ATM most stuff
that can be ported with the tools we currently have (SDL mainly) are ported.
And I really really have to look hard for stuff to port.
I have ported a lot of linklibs etc, but there are two major ones, that are too tough for me to port. And I need help.

That's why I have this proposal. Could you set up a bounty to get Allegro
ported? Allegro is very similiar to SDL, and it has LOADS of software
written for it. Find more info here: http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/

Also, another one, that depends on SDL and some other stuff, but is way
easier to port is Clanlib. It's not as popular as Allegro, but it will be
far easier to port on the other hand. And some good games are written with
it, and I am sure more are to come!
Find more info here: http://www.clanlib.org/
I've had a stab at clanlib myself, and i've made it 80% through the
compile, but after that it gets tougher.

With these two tools you can expect a FLOOD of new ports from me. :P
The only thing holding me back these days are the lack of these (and similiar) libraries. But these two are the major ones.

@spotUP

Sounds very interesting, you got mail.

A flood of ports, who can say no to that :)

@Troels

allright, and the reply is in your inbox! :)
get busy!

@spotUP

oh... and btw people, here's a site with most software written for allegro. drool.
http://www.allegro.cc/

here's selections of nice games and apps:

http://www.allegro.cc/depot/sports/
http://www.allegro.cc/depot/strategy/

There's a big bunch of quality stuff in there.
I don't know why, but I get the feeling that the general
quality is a bit higher with Allegro stuff than with SDL.

@spotUP

...spotty got nothing to do?

OMG, quick someone give him Allegro, so he's off streets

...you don't wanna know what will happen then, heck, I don't wanna know

@spotUP

I am busy, but not with the bounty I'm afraid.

Will look into it tomorrow, have you considered making it a bounty for classic + MOS aswell??

@Mason & Raziel

you know the i. i am starting today, a friend is reaching 30 seems like a good occantion to start, i won't stop until we have Allegro ;)

troels, sure, i have no probs with classic and mos etc.

day 2: still drunk.

@spotUP

day 3, or is it day 4?!: getting delirius.

many reads, but no comments. anyone interested in this bounty at all when it becomes reality? i mean it would mean that we would get a lot of software to play with.

any developer interested in writing the amiga output driver?

@spotUP

Come on Troels! Get the new bounty up there!

@spotUP

Allegro would be great to have on OS4. I'll donate for sure.

@spotUP

sorry sorry haven't had ANY time!

Promise to put it up tomorrow, have to spend some time with my gf tonight.

When she's at work tommorow I will have some time.

@Androxyn

I guess I chould donat to this too

RWO

@rwo

Please do so :)

@Troels

Oh! The bounty is up!
I just chipped in 10 euro, and that's a lot with my tight budget, but i received a donation myself earlier this week, and i like to put those to good Amiga use when I can. :)
C'mon people! http://www.amigabounty.net is the shit!

@spotUP

I have taken a small break from my current project.

And have looked at Allegro for some hours today and yesterday, and rigth now I have made my first compile of every thing.

here is the proof. http://www.rwo.dk/allegro.jpg

What is needed now is all the diffrent drivers for mouse/keyboard/graphics/music and so on.

My guesss is that I'm 1/3 of the way now.

As this is a side project I cant give any deadline.

Just wanted to inform you.

RWO

@rwo

that's the spirit!!
i am thrilled to hear about it! so, 1/3 done already, release on saturday then? :P

@rwo

Keep up the good work

AF

@rwo

Nice!
