Hya, I'm kinda new in graphic programming in C/C++ so I deceided to use
allegro for my very first game with real graphic (well mode 13h anyway). I
made this test program to see if I could blit a bitmap to the screen and it
didn't work. Why?

[---Snip---]
#include <allegro.h>

int main(void)
{
   allegro_init();
   set_gfx_mode(GFX_VGA, 320, 200, 0, 0);
   install_keyboard();

   BITMAP *image;
   PALETTE *pal;
   image = create_bitmap(16, 16);
   image = load_bitmap("test.bmp", pal);

   blit(image, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);

   readkey();
   allegro_exit();
   return 0;
}
[---End of Snip---]
compiling with the allegro library I got this error:
game.cc: In function `int main()':
game.cc:12: passing `RGB (*)[256]' as argument 2 of `load_bitmap(char *,
RGB *)'
It have something to do with the palette, I want to use the colors the
image was draw with.
Thanks :-)
