ZLib VS Allegro

A fix has been checked into the upstream git repo: https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/843 but a release has not yet been made including it.

So the real issue here is that the lack of tree validation before the tree construction, I believe. I'm surprised that this check was not yet implemented (I actually checked libwebp to make sure that I was missing one). Given this blind spot, an automated test based on the domain knowledge is likely useless to catch this bug.

In the source code of the Node.js opensource project, lib folder contains JavaScript code, mostly wrappers over C++ and function definitions. On the contrary, src folder contains C++ implementations of the functions, which pulls dependencies from the V8 project, the libuv project, the zlib project, the llhttp project, and many more - which are all placed at the deps folder.

Seeing the text in red got me thinking for a moment, "wow, didn't realize pirates had such love for an open-source compression library"

cd "${srcdir}/zlib-$pkgver/contrib/minizip" make install DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install -D -m644 "${srcdir}/zlib-$pkgver/LICENSE" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/minizip/LICENSE" # https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/229 rm "${pkgdir}/usr/include/minizip/crypt.h"

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
