AllegroGL - A library to mix OpenGL graphics with Allegro routines.
Introduction
AllegroGL is an Allegro add-on that allows you to use OpenGL alongside Allegro -- you use OpenGL for your rendering to the screen, and Allegro for miscellaneous tasks like gathering input, doing timers, getting cross-platform portability, loading data, and drawing your textures. So this library fills the same hole that things like glut do.
AllegroGL also automatically exposes most, if not all, OpenGL extensions available to user programs. This means you no longer have to manually load them; extension management is already done for you.
News
| November 10, 2007 | AllegroGL 0.4.3 released | |
 | We decided to make another AllegroGL release, likely the last standalone one since AllegroGL is now part of the Allegro 4.3.10plus branch. Of course, we will update it if some serious bugs show up, but the further development will be focused on Allegro 4.3.10plus. Changes include DMC support, improved MSVC project files and many fixes to the Allegro driver interface. You can update yourself in the Download section. | |
| July 25, 2007 | AllegroGL 0.4.2 | |
| Well, Allegro 4.2.2 is out, and no problems were reported with the RC1, so I simply renamed it to be the final 0.4.2 version. You can get it from the Download menu like always. | |
| July 22, 2007 | AllegroGL 0.4.2 RC1 released | |
| Simultaneous to the release of Allegro 4.2.2, we're releasing a new version of AllegroGL. The main feature of this release is that it works together with Allegro 4.2.2 flawlessly, as a small change in Allegro (autoheader isn't used any longer) causes some build problems in AllegroGL together with 4.2.2. | |
| May 15, 2007 | AllegroGL 0.4.1 released! | |
| AllegroGL 0.4.1 was released, bringing you tones of improvements in allegro driver, MSVC projects, and various bugfixes. Review the list of changes and download. But the new release is somehow a minor news, compared to this one: On the last Allegro developers IRC meeting we decided to finally merge Allegro and AllegroGL. This is planned to happen "soon", in 4.3 Allegro branch. | |
| April 28, 2007 | AllegroGL 0.4.1 RC1 released | |
| Yes, AllegroGL is still being working on. This is a release candidate and requires your testing. There have been a lots of bugfixes and some new features, which probably introduced some new bugs. It you notice any, please report them back to us so we can fix them. You can get it at the Download page. | |
