#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "allegro.h"

BITMAP *back, *map;  // load the back picture
BITMAP *vback; // virtual screen

void close();
void init();

void close()
{
    destroy_bitmap(vback);
    destroy_bitmap(back);
    destroy_bitmap(map);
}

void init()
{
    allegro_init();
    install_timer();
    install_keyboard();
    install_mouse();

    set_color_depth(24);
    set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT,640,480,0,0);

    position_mouse(319,239); // set the mouse position on screen
    set_mouse_range(0,0,639,479); // set the mouse range on screen

    vback = create_bitmap(640,480);
    clear(vback);
    map = create_bitmap(192,480);
    clear(map);

    map = load_pcx("back_1.pcx",NULL);
    back= load_pcx("db.pcx",NULL);
}

int main()
{
 init();

    while(1)
    {
       if(key[KEY_ESC])    {remove_keyboard(); break;}
        blit(back, vback, 0, 0, 0, 0, 640, 480);
        blit( map, vback, 0, 0, 447, 0, 192, 480);
        draw();
        blit(vback, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, 640, 480);
        show_mouse(screen);
   clear_to_color(vback, 0);
    }
