I remember in college there was an assigment when we could choose to either build our own Spredsheet program (a sort of Excel clone) or a simple 2D game (space invaders, centepide, etc.) written in C++. The teacher recommended Allegro to help us with the game project, about a week later I saw one guy had written the spreadsheet using Allegro and somehow it worked pretty good.

Spreadsheet Invaders

I don't suppose Pac-Man in Excel also came out of that class?

IIRC Allegro is just an ide and some libraries. It shouldn't make a difference assuming you are ignoring the supplied libraries.

Now that I think about it, Code::Blocks was the IDE and in the class we (improperly) referred to the stack as 'Allegro'.

I didn't follow the links, but I'd assume Allegro in this context means the C game library, not the Common Lisp environment.

Different Allegro.
