i'm making my first game, and when i was making the title screen + select
screen i compiled it and got a million errors. after spending a long time
trying to track them down i wrote this program :
#include <allegro.h>

#define selecto 4;

main()
{
BITMAP *picture;
RGB *pal;

int allegro_init();
int install_keyboard();
int install_timer();

allegro_init();
install_keyboard();
install_timer();

set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 200, 0, 0);

clear(buff);
picture = load_bitmap("bmps[selecto].dat", pal);
blit(picture, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, 320, 200);

readkey();


return 0;
}

to try to find out what's causing the error. when i compiled this program, i
got no errors and it was made into an .exe file. when i ran the file, the
screen went black and when i hit a key it exited(like it was supposed to). what
did i do wrong???
