Read the manual for Allegro, but I'm pretty sure that the first one is x, the second one is y, and the third one isn't even a pixel count.

Ok, finally did it! I changed the textout's with images, and then inserted some sleeptime's and voilá!

My final, working code:

Code:

---

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

int main(void)
{
  BITMAP *bmp;
  PALETTE palette;
  allegro_init();
  set_color_depth(24);
  set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 800, 600, 0, 0);
  install_keyboard();

int sleepTime;

        bmp = load_bitmap("1.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
       
        sleepTime=20;
        sleep(sleepTime);
       
        clear_bitmap(bmp);
       
        bmp = load_bitmap("2.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
       
        sleepTime=40;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
  void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("Super.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 1, 1);

  sleepTime=3;
  sleep(sleepTime);
 
  void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("PDA.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 1, 400);
 
  sleepTime=2;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("3.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
 
  sleepTime=5;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("consti.bmp",palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 1, 1);

sleepTime=15;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("4.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
   
    sleepTime=22;
  sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("SO.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 0);
 
  sleepTime=10;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("5.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
 
    sleepTime=12;
  sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("6.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
   
      sleepTime=35;
  sleep(sleepTime);
 
    clear_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("Ubuntu.bmp",palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 1, 1);

       
  sleepTime=5;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
  void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("XP.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 1, 40);

   
  sleepTime=5;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
  void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("7even.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 1, 80);


sleepTime=5;
  sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);

  bmp = load_bitmap("7.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
 
 sleepTime=35;
sleep(sleepTime);
 
  void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("command.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 8, 8);
 
  sleepTime=3;
        sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("8.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
 
  sleepTime=22;
sleep(sleepTime);

 void destroy_bitmap(bmp);

bmp = load_bitmap("9.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
 
 sleepTime=10;
  sleep(sleepTime);
 
    void destroy_bitmap(bmp);
 
readkey();
 
  return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN()

Hope this helps someone. Thank you to all of you guys! You helped me a lot, without you, I'd never finish this. So, thank you.

The program now opens a Window, displaying the text (in an image), and display the others, with intervals between each other... Just like a Presentation. In the end, it exits automatically. Just like I wanted.

Again, THANK YOU.

Regards,

Ok, noticed now that when the program gets to this part:

Code:

---

(...)
bmp = load_bitmap("6.bmp", palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 0, 255);
   
      sleepTime=35;
  sleep(sleepTime);
 
    clear_bitmap(bmp);
 
  bmp = load_bitmap("Ubuntu.bmp",palette);
  draw_sprite(screen, bmp, 1, 1);
(...)

---

It crashes and exits. It displays the 6.bmp and does the sleeptime properly... But then it exits. I think it is the memory that is full, so it exits. It doesn't clear the bitmaps! I already tried with various and different commands, but it just don't works! The bitmaps aren't deleted!

Can you help me, please? When I thought I finished...

I thinked it worked before because all was running well... So I got busy, and the program had finished. So I thought it was OK, because when it goes to end, it exits. (I had something in the end to close it.)

When I ran the program the second time, I noticed it.

I asked for help in the Allegro forums too.

[Help] Destroy bitmaps

Now this is more Allegro-based... Hope someone can help me there.

Ok, so now the program works. It was a little-little thing: The filename was named ubuntu.bmp, and in the code I had Ubuntu.bmp.

So... The program works. That's a fact. But it just works on my computer, with Ubuntu. I tried on two different computers (one with Ubuntu, another with Windows) and it doesn't work. I really don't want to take my laptop to school...

Presuming you mean it compiles but then seg faults -- stuff like that happens pretty easily. The problem is that when a compiler puts something together, it may put it together in such a way that some small memory overwrite/out of bounds mistake is harmless, so you won't notice it. Then it gets put together by another compiler slightly differently, and the mistake causes a seg fault.

I've made mistakes I did not notice until the code was compiled on a third and even fourth different system.

So you have to find the mistake and correct it. It's still certainly a mistake.

In Windows Code::Blocks, it says something about mangled_main and winmain... I post the full error later.
