Any chance of this kind of thing becoming standard in allegro. It seems very relevent to what is essentially a game library. ---------------- BTW i think I have found an odd allegro bug: Using the rotate_sprite() function works fine when compiled on my Intel Celeron system and run on either of my systems. However, when compiled on my other system (AMD K6, S3 graphics card) the sprite seems to be inverted. This happens even when the K6-compiled program is run on the celeron. Very strange. The machines both share the same version of djgpp (v2.81) and allegro (v3.11). The resolution is 640x480 at 16bpp. Any ideas what's going on? -- Yikes Station: Frontier Elite 2 Website http://www.yikesstation.freeserve.co.uk/frontier/yikes.htm Tom 'Moretom' Morton
