Requirements

These are the requirements for this package (or will be once it is complete.) Ones that are optional are marked as (Optional.)

SDL. Anything over 1.2.0 should be fine.
You also need the SDL_mixer and SDL_image libraries, also from the above link.
OpenGL 1.2 or later (I'd give the link to Mesa, a software-only implementation of OpenGL, except that it would be too slow! Your hardware manufacturer should really supply one, else you're out of luck.)
The GNU Compiler Collection C++ compiler, version 3.0 or above.
GNU make.
A POSIX/ISO C/ISO C++ Development environment. Currently, I use tools such as 'find', 'rm', etc. Everyone should have these. If you're a Unix or clone (BSD, GNU/Linux, Solaris, etc..) user, you know what I'm talking about, and you have the tools. For Windoze users, sorry, no can do. What might work is Cygwin, since I don't use THAT much UNIX specific stuff, I try to stick to ISO C++ Standard Library stuff as much as possible.
..and most importantly..... my Super-Duper platform-independant game design application library libayq. (How vain, naming it after myself :-)

Download the pre-alpha now and try it out! Sorry for the docs, they're a bit naff.

In the mean time, here are some jokes courtesy of my brother!

A man walks into a bar... ouch.
[ Hacker's alternative ] A man walks into a bar... foo.
What's long, brown and sticky? A stick.
What's green, furry, and goes up, down, up, down... A gooseberry in a lift.

Ok, I'd better break it up now, the police are calling....
