The index for the Allegro CL Documentation is in index.htm. The documentation is described in introduction.htm.
There is an example of creating an internet browser plugin using Allegro CL and Common Graphics in the directory examples/cgplugin/. This example works on Windows only.
The file readme.txt in that directory describes the example and gives instructions for running the example. We do not repeat the instructions here so that corrections, if needed, can be made in one place only (in a new readme.txt file).
In release 5.0.1, there was a similar example, in the directory examples/plugin/. That specific example is no longer supported. Please do not use files from that example with release 6.0.
The example is a version of The Game of Life, a life simulation program (not invented by us).
The example starts as a normal Common Graphics project. The project files are in the life/ subdirectory. You can start the ACL IDE and open the project if you wish to examine it and run it in the usual IDE environment. Notice that the life game does not use a menu bar, since our goal is to insert it into the browser window as a pane, it is not appropriate to depend on a menu bar.
See readme.txt for more information and detailed instructions on the example.
