If I am not mistaken, the Allegro Blit command copies one section to another,
overwriting whatever is there.
Instead, use the draw_sprite() function.  You do noot have to store the sprite
image as a RLE image, you can use the Allegro grabber and store it as a bitmap.
Remember to "fill in" the areas around your sprite with the color black, with a
paint program.  Although you CAN change which color the draw_sprite() function
does not draw, by default the function will not draw anything in black.  (Thus,
not erasing the background).
Hope that helps,
