Figured I might as well post here.
I'm a Computer Engineering student (going to be starting my second year of college in August) currently in Argentina trying to learn some Spanish. I have quite a bit of free time while I'm here, and so I've been trying to learn a lot more about coding games. I have aspirations to make a few of my own, and hopefully work in the industry once I'm done with schooling. The only programming course I've had so far was C++ last year, so that's what I've been using and I'm starting to get more comfortable with it.
I was looking for a good 2d C++ engine (coded enough of my own to get a fellow jumping etc in combination with the Allegro library) for a game idea I have, and came across IndieLib. I've done most of the tutorials so far and begun to mess with it, and it is definitely easy to use and much more powerful than what I've messed with earlier. Glad you guys have continued to work on it, definitely inspiring to see

Hopefully I'll be able to contribute a game of my own to the repertoire sometime soon.
