From what you’ve posted, it seems to me that you have not seen MSYS, which gives bash-and-friends functionality to MINGW. (Or is it that Allegro really does not include configure script that works for MSYS+MINGW?)

Comment on How to convert a char string to an int in C++ mathematically by Abhijeet Maharana

If I have understood correctly, you are trying to convert a number (represented as a string within quotes) to its integer value.

This seems to be simpler and you also avoid strlen() and the costly pow() function calls:
long int convert_to_int(char *str)
{
int i;
long int ans = 0;

for(i=0; str[i]!=0; i++)
ans = ans * 10 + str[i]-’0′;

return ans;
}

I’ve had a couple of complaints about this so I’ve decided to act on it. The problem is that now 800×600 users are cut out from the equation, but I don’t think many sites support that resolution these days anyway.

Hi there. The site is a bit difficult to read. Either increase the font size a bit or use better contrast.

Also, you might want to blit on those rectangles of the screen that have changed.

Your game might be running at the maximum frame rate. You might try limiting it to 30 or 60 frames per second by using a delay function in your main loop.

If the main loop runs unrestricted, it may blit the same stuff to the screen a hundred times before anything actually changes on the screen.

I’m not sure what had happened, but the UI really did look like it had been rendered using GTK1 until Feisty. Maybe this was a quirk unique to my system, but it still looked horrible. Still, the main thing is that it works now

Curious about your HPLIP comment - the “HP Device Manager” (aka Toolbox) has always been a (Py)Qt application, its never been GTK. I’m glad you like the improvements to the look of it, but I am wondering why you thought it changed toolkits? Did the UI used to render poorly in Ubuntu?
