I was learing how to draw masked sprites, the mask color of course, being pink.
Here's my code
| 1 | #include <allegro.h> |
| 2 | |
| 3 | int main() |
| 4 | { |
| 5 | allegro_init(); |
| 6 | set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 640, 480, 0, 0); |
| 7 | set_color_depth(24); |
| 8 | |
| 9 | install_keyboard(); |
| 10 | BITMAP* sprite = load_bitmap("sprite.bmp", NULL); |
| 11 | |
| 12 | clear_bitmap(screen); |
| 13 | //draw_sprite(screen , sprite, 0, 0); |
| 14 | masked_blit(sprite, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, sprite->w, sprite->h); |
| 15 | readkey(); |
| 16 | |
| 17 | destroy_bitmap(sprite); |
| 18 | allegro_exit(); |
| 19 | return 0; |
| 20 | } |
| 21 | END_OF_MAIN(); |
Here's the image:

And here's the output:

What's gone wrong?
Please help me.
set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 640, 480, 0, 0); set_color_depth(24);
That's backwards. You need to set a color depth before setting a graphics mode. Also, 24-bit is not a good color to use. Generally you should use the desktop color depth
desktop_color_depth()
32- or 16-bit. 8-bit shouldn't be used unless your game is specificly designed for it.
This has nothing to do with your problem, but I just like to point out to everyone who makes the mistake, that END_OF_MAIN(); is wrong. It should be just END_OF_MAIN() without the ; at the end.
]]>Thanks. But if the semi colon at
END_OF_MAIN();
is an error, why do the programs compile at all?

Because compilers are very lenient about it. But it's still improper code.
