Loading different picture formats

[speedlemon]

All I know how to load is bmp. I would like to know how I can load some other ones, maybe even png. Thanks! :wink:

Easiest to accomplish by using a library, such as SDL with SDL_image, or devIL

I'm not completely sure myself, but I can tag along and learn too, right? I think some include files let you use other things, but I never got them to work. Or, you could create your own format with 1's and 0's...

If you write your own loader here are many descriptions of picture fileformats.
