hi!
i am new in programming with the sdl and i found an Image-libary, but when i try to load an png with alpha channel i get an error message.

so i want to know if the sdl is able to load pngs with alpha channel.

thanks for support!

Yep, should be able to. Make sure that if you’re initializing a surface that
you expand it to include the extra channel and that the format flags are
right… or you could just use SDL_Image (available from the main SDL page).

thanks for support!

Cheers,
