Allegro on IRC
If you want to get help quickly, or simply discuss programming with
Allegro with other people, join us in the FreeNode IRC network http://irc.freenode.net/.
We run two channels there:
#allegro
This is the general Allegro channel, where you can discuss about anything you
like. You will find many of the allegro.cc regulars and some of the developers
there. Discussion will be related to Allegro as often as it will be not.
#allegro-dev
This is the channel for Allegro development. Usually only the developers will
be here and discuss development issues of Allegro. This is also the channel
where monthly developer meetings are held.
#allegro-support
This is a channel specifically created for getting help with Allegro quickly. If
you ask a question there, and nobody answers for 3 minutes, the question will get
picked up by the bots and they will notify us in #allegro about it.
Notes about using IRC
If you don't know how to enter the channel, you can obtain a list of
servers from http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml. If you are new to IRC, it is also a
good idea to read http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml so you can learn quickly what are
the things you shouldn't do on the channel to avoid upsetting people.
If you have problems using the Allegro library, there is a lot
of documentation you should check before coming here. You can for
example check the Documentation section of this web page,
where you have the FAQ, help guidelines and Allegro's documentation
online.
The language used in the IRC channel is English. You can
eventually ask there in another language, but most of the people
there understand only English, so this would limit the richness of
your conversation ;).
