Hi,
I'm quite new programming in djgpp using allegro, but I have programmed
in C for years, and back in the old days (= 80's), using basic and
C64/Amiga, I used to develop games for my own amusement.
Because C64/Amiga had sprites, the game programming with them was quite
easy. Especially, moving sprites across the screen without erasing the
background was easy.
But, how do you do the same with allegro? I noticed that it has
functions for putting sprite (or bitmap) to screen, rotating them etc.,
but what is the basic principle of moving them without erasing the
background by using allegro? I guess I should use temporary bitmaps to
store the background before I blit the sprite to screen or something...
So, any information regarding this would be appreciated!
