[SDL] key presses

[Micah Lee]

I've used it for about a year or so, probably.  I introduced it to my
high school computer science class, and started using it there a lot.
I'm fairly proficient at it- though I've never tried any of the 3D
functions.

Hi Micah,
		 May I know what was your  experience on using Allegro ?
