Introduction

Mingro is a library indented to help amateur and begginers to create computer games and other types of multimedia programming. In the beggining it was designed as a wrapper for the Allegro library to be used in Pascal but the project became too big and complex so we decided to throw out the "Allegro compatibility" objective and then we redesign Mingro from scratch. Anyway, it still using Allegro as base library helping us to work with the not stardard Windows workframe and to port it to other SO and platforms.

Current version is labeled as "(alpha)". That means it is a previous unfinished version to get feedback from people that used it, as you'll do. Please, send us what do you think about the library, what's right and what's wrong. The "(alpha)" label warns about this is not a library for begginers because there are unfinished and undocumented stuff.

You may use, modify, redistribute, and generally hack it about in any way you like, and you do not have to give us anything in return. However, if you like this product you are encouraged to thank us by making a return gift to the Mingro community. This could be by writing an add-on package, providing a useful bug report, making an improvement to the library, or perhaps just releasing the sources of your program so that other people can learn from them. If you redistribute parts of this code or make a game using it, it would be nice if you mentioned Allegro somewhere in the credits, but you are not required to do this. We trust you not to abuse our generosity.
