Allegro# 0.8 Released

Here it is, the first public release of Allegro#!


The main focus of the project has been to maintain the API as much as possible, but there are a few key differences between Allegro and Allegro#.


  • Memory Management
    • While C# has a garbage collector, Allegro objects mainly linger in unmanaged memory. This means that upon garbage collection, Allegro routines are called, potentially producing undesirable results. For now, care must be taken to keep memory in mind, but future versions will allow a more liberal approach.

  • Exceptions rather than return values. Safer code and more valuable feedback.

  • Using statements help define scopes for use of objects you want destroyed.

  • A clean, intuitive syntax, with documentation built in!
