I'm a heavy user of and minor contributor to the Allegro library. We thought Factorio had got rid of Allegro long ago, but apparently some vestigial component remained. So long!

Allegro has been around for decades. I still remember using it with DJGPP in the mid-90s, which is at least four forevers ago.

One thing I remember making was a fire/heat visualization, not optimized at all but that didn’t matter much because I was targeting 320x240x8bpp.

Thanks for making such a great library! It served us well for many years.

Edit: My brain skipped over the "user of and minor" part of the sentence. Still, thanks for contributing to Allegro!
