Looks like a continuous GUI refill loop which I would guess uses the Allegro Game lib . The naming suggests a startup menu prior to starting a new game?
feyd: despite initial fears, no.
arborint: darn you.
reaper: twelve trillion points for guessing the library. If I would have removed the allegro_exit (Which i have done since) you would have been lost! I am abstracting allegro from itself mainly because it's so damn repetetive. I know, harsh, but true. However, you are absolutely correct. It's the main menu prior to starting a new game which I am finally doing now that I can speak allegro. Or at least ernough to attempt this. Who wants in on it?!
I do my time in games in a few languages - I used Allegro in a small game a long time back. The KEY_ESC condition was a dead giveaway more than anything - where else in a game does ESC break a refresh loop?
darn. I shoulda waited till tonight to post it then because I am removing the key_esc for more traditional methods, i.e. quit game selected, user hit esc then hit quit game,etc.
