This post is a portion of Part 7 in my on going series about 2D Game Development using the Allegro 5 library. These posts are in course order. You can see all of the posts in this course by clicking the “2D Game Development” button at the top of this site.
- 7.0 – Sprites
- 7.1 – Bitmap Transparency in Allegro 5
- 7.2 – Basic Animation in Allegro 5
- 7.3 – Using Allegro 5 to Create a Sprite Sheet
- 7.4 – Sprite Sheet Animation in Allegro 5
Before we can look at animation using sprite sheets, we first need to actually have sprite sheets. I made this video to show how to use Allegro’s ability to save bitmaps to create our own sheets.

I know I’m wrong, but why isn’t it i * imageWidth +1 ?
disregard, forgot first position is 0, 0 as opposed to 1, 1
You’re a genious man , this course it’s the best that I’ve ever seen. You’re better than my java’s teacher at the university. Go on we’re still waiting for the 3d game development
Great tutorials =)!
One way to improve this code would be accepting your images as arguments and then concatenate them, you could then run it using pipes on command line wich would allow you to make sheets without changing your code.
What i mean is something like:
ls flieght*|./my_program -o name.bmp
Or on windows
dir flieght*|my_program.exe -o name.bmp
