hello, haven't touched blitz3d for a while, but am making a simple note reading app with it. It is very slow to actually draw the notes on the cleflines with ovals and lines as I figured out, so I thought I'd make some images and paste them over.
However, no alpha channels!
I hope I am omitting something very easy, like a flag in loading or something?
I need the notes to allow the lines to show through from underneath.. I thought that just loading a bmp with alpha information should be fine, but its not working.
Any info on this?
thanks!
