Is there a way to make bitmaps smaller in allegro? In my pong game I want to be able to shoot the opposing paddle(which is a bitmap so i cant use rectfill) and upon impact, i want the opponent to get smaller. |

Thanks a lot! I am going to have to start memorizing that manual. |

Or have a copy of the manual open beside you. Hell, I have an HTML copy of K&R that I refer to at least once or twice a week. [EDIT] ----------------------------- |

My parents get mad when I use all of my ink on useless(to them) things. |

The manual is online, as well as in html files with the full allegro package. There is no need to print it out or even go online.. |

there are some high quality scaling algorymths too available. the quality of stretch_blit() is not very high. ___________________________ |

Yeah, Bicubic Interpolation for example. It has nice quality and is very slow (lots of calculations for the CPU). |

For software Allegro, there's AASTR (Anti-Aliased STretching and Rotations) OpenLayer has reached a random SVN version number ;) | Online manual | Installation video!| MSVC projects now possible with cmake | Now alvailable as a Dev-C++ Devpack! (Thanks to Kotori) |

. Absolutely, read the whole thing through, but just to get a general idea of what's possible with the library. Then look it up when you need to - the docs are well laid out.
