Hi,
 Has anyone tried out the 'example 15' that's included with Allegro? It's
meant to display a bitmap, and it gives me the same problem that I'm having
when trying to display a bitmap in my own code. It'll display and center the
bitmap perfectly, but the 'background'? is that ugly purple/pink color,
which I believe represents what should be transparent. What the heck am I
doing wrong? Here's my code...
/*** display.h ***/
void display_board()
{
 BITMAP *the_board;
 PALETTE the_board_pal;
 the_board=load_bitmap("board.bmp", the_board_pal);
 set_palette(the_board_pal);
 blit(the_board, screen, 0, 0, (SCREEN_W-the_board->w)/2,
     (SCREEN_H-the_board->h)/2, the_board->w, the_board->h);
 destroy_bitmap(the_board);
}
 ... Thanks...
