Hi!
I made a js game making library that should be super simple to pick up for everyone as well as quite fast to use! So, whether you're a hardcore old-school programmer who remembers good old Allegro, or a newbie who doesn't have any idea about coding, or you're just looking for a thing that will let you make terrible game jam games that people can play in a browser windows, allegro.js is a thing for you!
Weeeee!

Wasn't this posted already? Might've been by somebody else than yourself, but I'm fairly sure there's already a thread... I'll leave it to someone else to validate that because I'm lazy and on my phone.

No longer a lousy library, but if you read the fine print, games made with it will be terrible game jam games.

Fortunately for me, that's the only kind I make.

Sos, how painful do you think it'd be to use this from CoffeeScript?

Very cool and nostalgic for Allegro and Amiga people.

Allegro has a huge soft spot for me (Creator of Outer-Rim Pod Digger on the allegro.cc depot here) and it would be nice to revisit it for a web game sometime.

I imagine it would be relatively easy to port compiled Allegro games over to the browser using this provided they keep to vanilla Allegro API.

Congrats on (re?)releasing your new game-making library.

I don't want to start a debate on this, but why must your "No OOP" section have the "No classes, no hassle" subtitle? I wouldn't want young aspiring game programmers to think that OOP is a bad thing...

Maybe you can change it to "No OOP. Great for beginners" or something.

I don't think it is meant to be a serious subtitle. Tongue
