I was wondering how you can set a certain color as transparent when using the allegro graphics library. I''m makina a platform game and i want the background to show through my sprites. What should I do?

If you''re using 8 bit mode, you''ll need to make the transparent areas filled with the color 0 (this is 0 as in palette index). If you''re using true color modes, you''ll need to make the transparent areas bright pink (r = 255, g = 0, b = 255).

instead of using blit, you''ll need to use draw_sprite.

Hope that helps.

Hey, thank you very much, i''ll try that out!

I''ll just add that you can use masked_blit() instead of draw_sprite(), if you want.
