I learnt game programming with this and Allegro!

Gosh I remember trying to wrap my head around this and Allegro in my early teens. Specifically for use with Mugen.

Years later I learned SDL/SDL2 and found them much much easier.

Same, Allegro was very impressive, and I built a little game in it. However, I remember I got stuck on something that I didn't quite fully understand at the time. Hell of a lot of fun though.

Re SDL - exactly! Same path.

It's been years since I wanted to play around making a game. I was thinking of building something in the love 2d framework now. What do you think of that?

That's funny, I always found allegro (4 or 5) easier than SDL. Allegro's performance had some issues for me, which is why I switched.
