>Simple question:-
>how do you load a bitemap using allegro?
The load_bitmap function reads a bitmap from disk. Code snipped:
{
PALETTE pal;
BITMAP *bmp = load_bitmap ("filename", pal)
...
}

Allegro comes with a wealth of documentation and demo programs. My
advise would be to just start coding a small program with Allegro and
look up what you need to know in the docs as you go along.
