You should not use bitmap without creating it first with load_bitmap,
create_bitmap or something similar.  So remove 'clear(back)'.

GFX_VGA can not handle 320x240 resolution.  This resolution is
supported by GFX_MODEX and some other drivers.  But you should use
GFX_AUTODETECT and test return value of set_gfx_mode, or use GFX_SAFE
if you are using WIP version of Allegro (3.9.xx).

  if (set_gfx_mode (GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 240, 0, 0) != 0) {
    fprintf (stderr, "Error setting graphics mode\n");
    exit (1);
  }
