Behind you!
Hello, my name is James and here is some software.
I dunno it's like programs and stuff and the binaries run on various kinds of x86 computers at least and does all sorts of stuff or something. It tends to use the Allegro Game Programming API to make things a bit easier.
May not be the highest performance but they should easily run on even very poor computers without complaining about things like Direct3d Hardware Acceleration or such.

Lierogue is an idea of a simple game based on the premise that you are a lowly worm stuck in a 2d side-scrolling realtime Action-RPG. You should be able to figure out the rest just from this title alone.
The current year is 1999AB (After Bob). Supposedly the modern worms are the most enlightened, and well, modern. But in the great scheme of things, all that has occured is that now there are more advanced and complicated ways for worms to destroy each other. Long, long ago, before you were even born, Wormworld was on the verge of total and utter annihilation. This most perilous time came after a prolonged decline into anarchy under non-stop destruction that had ravaged any remains of previous civilization indistinguishable from the rest of the various impact craters littering the country side.
Unlike in the current time, it was not rocket missiles with the high explosive war heads that had waged such devestation, but rather mage bolts and conjured meteor strikes and the like. The details of which are not understood very widespread or clearly anymore, as almost all of the present day worms are descended from the survivors; survivors were mostly the unknowledgeable peasants that hid in ruins under the ground. And so the tales tell that a lone survivor of the war-ravaged wastelands made quite the impression as he embarked on an epic journey to escape the choking conditions from the surface and to put an end to it for once and for all.
His name was Bob, and as he marched deeper and deeper into mysterious ruins that lay hidden (for untold mellenia, undoubtedly) beneath the surface, he became more and more driven by an unknown force that would posses his mind and take over. Some say that he was possessed by the planet to act as an avatar on his behalf, others that he was simply driven insane by the horrors that he faced, but anyway he eventually prevailed and reached the end of his journey; a trip to the center of the planet.
It was here that Bob finally found what must have been calling out to him all this time! It was Yoghurt-Drissel, the wooorrrllldd-tree, and it commanded him to chop it down in order to craft a sceptor that would give him control over all beings descended from the planet, in order to unite all creatures and put an end to the destruction, on the condition that Bob throw the scepter into the bubbling magma of a volcano upon the completion of his task so as to return the sceptor to it's originator.
Regaining his sense of identity with this new purpose to fullfill, Bob made a vow to Yoghurt-Drissel to do just that. The others of the surface that knew of his journey were in disbelief that he had emerged from the ruins after such a period of time, seemingly alive. Their suspiciouns quickly turned to devotion under the power of Bob's sceptor however, and his campaign to unite all and put an end to the conflict was relatively short.
However, not all fell under the sceptors control. As Bob travelled to an open volcano to return the sceptor, he was attacked by ferocious and horrid creatures, the likes of which he vagualey recognized from the deformed monsters of the underground ruins. These creatures descended upon him in hordes, pouring out of the fiery cracks in the earth's crust amongst the volcanic ash. Bob never returned and the whereabouts of his sceptor were unknown. Netherless, the stability that he had forged had allowed great empires to establish self-suffecieny and grand armies under control of worm-kinds best generals insured organization for many centuries to come.
Gradually, however, worm society became more and more burdened by the overarching power structure that had seemed to have lost touch with it's roots, as if it wasn't quite worm-like anymore...
War is all that you have known, small scale skirmishes and the uncertainity of living day-by-day. However, recently an enormous hostile army has begun a seige of the entire kingdom to which you were currently tormented within. Things have been going from bad to worse, and now the black arts are being employed to degrees never heard of before sans tales of the apocalyptic wars that led the planet on the path of destruction before Bob the hero had acquired his world sceptor.
And so it is evident that the same dark powers have finally come to bare in full force once more, and this time the sceptor has been lost, never returned. The whereabouts are uncertain, however there have been legends of it resurfacing from time to time. The latest legends, as far as you have been able to ascertain, point to it being held by a powerful undead magus beneath the black castle that no one dares to approach. No one except for you, that is. After-all, what do you have to loose?
This is a standard allegro tool to set some various settings if the autodetect does not work. Use this to get some good values and then copy those into the normal program's config file (program.cfg or something). There is a readme inside the zip file, give that a look if you do not get it.
