exalpha(3) Creating and using 32 bit RGBA sprites. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro.h>

Example exalpha

DESCRIPTION

This program demonstrates how to use the 32 bit RGBA translucency functions to store an alpha channel along with a bitmap graphic. Two images are loaded from disk. One will be used for the background and the other as a sprite. The example generates an alpha channel for the sprite image, composing the 32 bit RGBA bitmap during runtime, and draws it at the position of the mouse cursor.
