Weathertower

Weathertower was my entry for the Ludumdare 48 hour game compo in, iirc, August of 2008.

It is possibly the most embarassing collection of code I have ever produced, including all the monster Perl crap I generate at work. I provide it here out of humility.

The theme for the compo was 'tower' or 'The Tower' or some such. There were several very good entries from some experienced hands. This was my first foray into real game making, and my first serious outting with C. It Shows.

Requires Allegro. Includes a 32-bit binary built on Slackware 12.1; it will probably need a fresh build. I provide the Allegro end-user runtime source for running the binary, but if it doesn't work you'll need the actual Allegro development source.

Please be gentle.

Video Timelapse

It's a usual thing to take a timelapse of a compo, and I did not ignore the opportunity for some fun. Here is 48 hours of my desktop in August 2008. I was still using XFCE at the time.
