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... - JS
