NAME

       exalpha - Creating and using 32 bit RGBA sprites. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       Example exalpha

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  demonstrates  how  to use the 32 bit RGBA translucency functions to store an alpha channel along with a bitmap graphic.  Two
       images are loaded from disk. One will be used for the background and the other as a sprite. The example generates an alpha channel for  the
       sprite image, composing the 32 bit RGBA bitmap during runtime, and draws it at the position of the mouse cursor.

NAME

       extrans - Lighting and translucency effects. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       Example extrans

DESCRIPTION

       This program demonstrates how to use the lighting and translucency functions. The first part of the example will show a dark screen illumi-
       nated by a spotlight you can move with your mouse. After a key press the example shows the full bitmap and the spotlight changes  to  be  a
       reduced version of the background with 50% of translucency.

       The  translucency  effect is easy to do in all color depths.  However, the lighting effect has to be performed in a different way depending
       on whether the screen is in 8bit mode or another color depth. This is because additive drawing mode uses a different set  of  routines  for
       truecolor modes.
