Hullo, Allegro question. I'm wondering a litle wonder about sprites: I've
made some alpha channels of tiles in a tile-based game. The alpha tiles are
black and white; no colors or greys. Now, would there be a difference in
time if I

a) draw_rle_sprite the black and white tiles on a memory bitmap as is, or

b) make all the tiles hot pink and white instead of black, since blitting
sprites skips pink. Even hollowing out big white tiles and filling a white
outline with pink.

I'm pretty sure white/ pink would go faster than white/black, but I figgered
I'd ask before playing with my tiles. Thanks muchly!
