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 illuminated 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.
