2d Engine/High Level

Built on top of allegro?
How much higher level can it get?

MakeCoolGame();

If you don''t have anything constructive to write, don''t write, thanks

Well, i dont think you can get much higher level than something like that, because the higher level the library, the less flexible it becomes. The only thing i can think of that would make it higher level is if there was a sprite class, so that you can do collision detection, acceleration and animation easier. I havent used allegro since its old days, so it might have a sprite class now, but if not, that should be one thing to consider. You can probably find third party addon libs for allegro that have sprite classes.

You can also try CDX, which is another 2D library, but afaik its not portable (windows-directx only), but it has sprite classes and map classes etc. and other classes that seem 'higher level' to me than most dx wrapper libs out there.

(they have a .com address too, but cant remember it)
