outcome VS Allegro

https://github.com/ned14/outcome/tree/develop/abi-compliance uses both in a CI pass to ensure Outcome never changes anything which breaks either API or ABI with earlier versions.

outcome and/or expected

A "Sample Usage" appears on the front page of the docs: https://ned14.github.io/outcome/

I recently came across boost outcome as I was searching for a better error handling method. It took me a minute to get a hang of it but now I love it. After creating my own policy and a few aliases for easier use.

std::optional and std::variant can be a bit awkward to use in this scenario, though. Consider a dedicated type like boost::outcome (standalone versions) or one of the implementations of the proposed std::expected.

Minimum possible compile time impact is a key goal of https://github.com/ned14/outcome. We ship a single header edition which only includes the low impact standard headers as listed at https://github.com/ned14/stl-header-heft. We also don't use union storage for non-TC non-MB types in order to avoid complex metaprogramming execution by the compiler per instantiation.

It's really weird that I wrote the above, and then this bug was reported to Outcome: https://github.com/ned14/outcome/issues/244. Here is my exact complaint about lack of lifetime tracking in C++.

Allegro (zlib/plain C) https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5

Some nutjob has taken control of https://liballeg.org to redirect it to some anti-Nazi page that mentions Kotaku, comparing them to nazis.

C, C++, Allegro, SDL, Some rudimentary SQL, Some basic BSD Sockets. But I also took some time to learn 3D math, trigonometry and linear algebra so I can include some basic 3D examples in my portfolio. I was later told that it was the 3D math that made the difference because if I (barely finished HS) can do that I can probably learn everything they give me.

Wow, DJGPP and Allegro (still going!), that takes me back - that and Bloodshed IDE were my weapons of choice back then!

allegro 5 is quite alright with fonts

allegro5 is a great rendering library if you want to get something 2D on the screen fast

Hell, their website says in the first few sentences it isn't an engine.

A while ago I was getting started with the Allegro5 game engine (+Rust bindings). It's the same engine used for Factorio. I wrote a simple egui-integration to have nicer UI options. It was mostly for myself and is thus poorly documented but maybe you get some ideas how to make it work.

Here's a simple program using Allegro
