Thread: Image displaying

Thanks so much, guys. I have everything sorted out now!

Okay, now back to my original problem of image displaying; tutorial 2, in the link that prog-bman posted, which is supposed to teach you how to display a bitmap, just changes the screen resolution but nothing else (you can still see the IDE and everything, except in a different resolution). Here's the code:

Code:

#include <allegro.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    allegro_init();
    
    install_keyboard();
    
    set_color_depth(16); 
    set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640,480,0,0);
    
    BITMAP *my_pic;
    my_pic = load_bitmap("my_bitmap.bmp", NULL);
    
    acquire_screen();
    blit(my_pic, screen, 0,0,0,0,640,480);
    release_screen();
    
    readkey(); 
    destroy_bitmap(my_pic);
    
    return 0;

}
END_OF_MAIN();

What's the deal here? (and yes, I do have a file called my_bitmap on my computer)
