I got to thinking about this, and now I have another question: What if
I have TWO or more sprites at the same location...i.e. the sprites
changes..

Actually, maybe I should tell you about the code I want to write, so
here goes... (deep breath)

It's a puzzle game with a 9x9 sprite grid (sprite size unimportant)
This grid is filled with colors of "orbs" or colored sprites.
If the player clicks on a blue sprite, it changes to a red sprite (and
the "orbs" horizontally and vertically change as well).  The player
completes a level when all sprites have changed to a specific color.

So I guess my first question (of many more to come) is how do I get
the program to check when a level is all one color? (Also, there are
"empty orbs" in each level which do not change at all.)

Next quick question: What if I have different bitmaps for the
animations of sprites?  How do I incorporate them into my program?
Like if the player clicks on an orb, it will "flip" over (play an
animation).
 
And the last question: What's the best way to have a bitmap fade in?
It's easy to get it to fade to black with an Allegro function, but I
tried several things for fading in, and nothing worked.  Help!

That's all for now.
