Is that possible?

If it's not, then does anybody know how to use allegro to make a .dll at all? I know it's possible, but in the dev-pak, it didnt really show how to make a .dll.

One last thing,
does anyone know how to call a dll from c++? If so that would be helpfull.

That's all im asking of the community today. Thank you.

Any help is appreciated.

I guess that it could be used - you might have a few problems getting the initial hook up into DBPro though.

What did you have in mind?

@IanM
Well, there are 2 things i had in mind, one was to program a dll for irrlicht so i can use proper keyboard input, which would allow me many possibilitys (plus sound, i like sound, when i have volume on anyways). And, the other was to program a drawing dll to do floodfill simply, along with add my GUI to the dll so that i could give that away for free, but without the source. If anyone knows of any sdk that works with dev-c++ and has tutorials or some information on how to make it work with dbp, that would be great Though, i like using allegro and could have other uses for it.

@warship45
About delphi, dont you have to pay for it? And how do you do 3d in delphi anyways?

Thanks all.

ps: If someone just skims through and assumes i dont need anymore help, your wrong, i did not get an answer.

No, you don't have to pay for Delphi. There are free Personal Editions of Delphi 6, 7, and 2005. There's a thread in "Programming Talk" with links. Or better yet you wait a few days for Turbo Delphi.

@DBUser-No clue how you could make dlls,but I think dx comes with direct input... maybe take a look at that? Anyhow,having irrlicht gui with dbp wouldn't work. Irrlicht makes its own rendering window,so it'd be quite impossible. Unless you wanna have two windows if you wanted to have an inventory,so,it would be quite useless. Thats why I just moved to c++ Its simple enough for me to make a game with!

Working on DBIrr. Done so far : objets,lights,cameras,billboarding. To come: newton game dynamics support,Animation blending with cal3d.

by gui i meant using the code to write "rect(screen,winx,winy,winx+winw,winy+winh,makecol(200,200,200));" as for irrlicht, im quite aware of it, thanks though.

I apreciate the help, i will try to get delphi, but that still doesnt answer the allegro question, thank you though.

While 2005 worked quite well for me (after installing all official and inofficial patches), I still prefer 7 over 2006. Anyway, Turbo Delphi is based on BSD 2006. You can have one profile installed only (either Win32 or .NET). There are some IDE restrictions in the Explorer version too. But it's free.
