Like you, Ait's also a problem to me whether I use ready-made
library or not. Some say that it's useless to try to make
something which were ready-made. For example, we don't care
how printf() was made. However, IMHO we as a beginner should
know how it works inside of pc and programs. 

However, I doesn't mean that you must make it from the real
basis. I think you'd better get a source code and books related 
in image file processing. If you analyze source codes and
know the basis of graphc programming. It'll be helpful though
you use ready-made library. 

Now I'm trying to make a simple game. However, it's really 
hard for me. I think the reason I'm having hard time is
not because I don't know how to use library(Allegro) but
I don't know how games are made. 

Good luck to you~
