yea, the docs that came with allegro are not as good as allgro itself,
i had the same problem a week ago, and needed some time to figure
this out too. dont know how, but after an hour or so i found the mistake:

what you did is, you mapped only the pixel at (1,1) to your squares.
you need to set up the 4 vertices to 4 points inside you texture,
so instead of your for-loop you have to do:

v[0].u=0;v[0].v=0;
v[1].u=31;v[1].v=0;
v[2].u=31;v[2].v=31;
v[3].u=0;v[3].v=31;

happy ALLEGRO-programming,
