alpha blending

[Deleter]

Whats the easiest way to do this in FB? Do I have to use the SDL library or? Thanks.

dunno about SDL, but with the built-in FB gfxlib you can do it (but you have to get latest 0.14 pre-release version). Have a look here:

how unstable is .14? And then whats the method used to do this?

[Jofers]

Put (x, y), myarray, ALPHA

You can use the RGBA macro to set the alpha channels on colors.

0.14 pre-release is as stable as 0.13 as far as I know. About the method for alpha blending, you basically use the good old PUT, but you pass ALPHA as drawing mode as Jofers already pointed out ; you should really read the forum thread whose link to I posted on my previous post...
