Any of you seasoned game programers have opinions on Allegro?
I'm an experienced software developer, but I'm just getting into game programming (as a hobby, not a career). I've read several books on the game programming, and have been lurking here in the forums for several months. I've started playing with the Allegro library, and it seems to "click" for me. I'm not sure why; one of those software tools things (e.g. some prefer vi, others emacs).
However, since I have no game experience, I'm worried that I may not see potential weaknesses in the library. I'm hoping someone here can tell me what to look out for with Allegro.
Thanks.
