Hello,
Is there any way to to make Z-Buffered bitmaps in Allegro.

For example: I wish to blit several bitmaps to a back buffer, and then blit
this buffer to the screen.

Typical double buffered graphics. However, I have no way of easily bliting
the bitmaps in the right order (it is a muli-threaded application). Each
thread blits to the back buffer. I do have a depth assigned to each of the
bitmaps, so a Z-Buffered blit to the back buffer would make my life easy.

Any libraries would be great.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
