Some other video games

In the spring of 2008, I decided that there are certain video games which everyone should write. So I did some googling, and then had a go. All these games run under Windows (and they can be persuaded to work with Linux, see the download links below.) They all use the rather wonderful Allegro game programming library.

Chart my progress here! The very first thing I wrote was a simple snake game, which isn't worth publishing. Then I moved on to write Blitz, followed by a Tetris clone, a Pacman clone, a "miner" game, and now something strange called Drip! Enjoy!

Roger
