Allegro errors during tutorial?
Also, you should do as Hothead has asid about the return [wink]. It's a little more proper *I think*/*hope* [lol]. I'm a freshman in college now - so programming is my hobby/trade/life etc.... I hope the job market is good when I get out - if not more the reason to start my own co. if I am not already doing something [smile]

Sorry you guy are having to walk me through this but one more question:
new code:
I think my file location has problems because this should output a small picture but alas the screen is black and th program crashes.
new code:
#define USE_CONSOLE#include <allegro.h> // You must include the Allegro Header file int main(int argc, char argv[]){ BITMAP *my_pic; allegro_init(); // Initialize Allegro install_keyboard(); // Initialize keyboard routines set_color_depth(16); // Set the color depth set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640,480,0,0); // Change our graphics mode to 640x480 my_pic = load_bitmap(C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\allegro\pic.bmp, NULL); // Load our picture acquire_screen(); blit(my_pic, screen, 0,0,0,0,480,360);//Draw the whole bitmap to the screen at (0,0) release_screen(); destroy_bitmap(my_pic);//Release the bitmap data readkey();// Wait untill a key is pressed return(0);// Exit with no errors}END_OF_MAIN(); // This must be called right after the closing bracket of your MAIN function. // It is Allegro specific.I think my file location has problems because this should output a small picture but alas the screen is black and th program crashes.
I commented what I fixed:
tehred.bmp being a picture I drew myself.
That should work.
#define USE_CONSOLE#include <allegro.h> // You must include the Allegro Header file int main(int argc, char argv[]){ BITMAP *my_pic; allegro_init(); // Initialize Allegro install_keyboard(); // Initialize keyboard routines set_color_depth(16); // Set the color depth set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640,480,0,0); // Change our graphics mode to 640x480 my_pic = load_bitmap("tehred.bmp", NULL); // HERE. acquire_screen(); blit(my_pic, screen, 0,0,0,0,480,360);//Draw the whole bitmap to the screen at (0,0) release_screen(); destroy_bitmap(my_pic);//Release the bitmap data readkey();// Wait untill a key is pressed return(0);// Exit with no errors}END_OF_MAIN(); // This must be called right after the closing bracket of your MAIN function. // It is Allegro specific.tehred.bmp being a picture I drew myself.
That should work.
