al_load_bitmap
ALLEGRO_BITMAP *al_load_bitmap(const char *filename)
Loads an image file into an ALLEGRO_BITMAP. The file type is determined by the extension.
Returns NULL on error.
Note: the core Allegro library does not support any image file formats by default. You must use the allegro_image addon, or register your own format handler.
