need compatibility for OS X

[dougmencken]

HeadOverHeels remake is not yet compatible with OS X

update° it compiles now but still has some problems

[dougmencken]

Big endian thingie with graphics ~ exempli gratia in file for background of main menu it is blueish, and little endian platform shows it as in file, but on big endian it is greenish

background loads via load_bitmap((path + "gfx/gui/background.bmp").c_str(), 0); and draws via blit(this->backgroundImage, destination, 0, 0, 0, 0, this->backgroundImage->w, this->backgroundImage->h); both of them are from Allegro library

update° unreal colors on big endian is about Windows® Bitmap files where color for pixel is multi byte, exempli gratia files with millions of colors in RGB space. Files with 256 indexed colors where single byte completely defines the color are okay

[dougmencken]

Since adoption of big endian friendly loadpng v1.5 for allegro together with conversion of any Windows® Bitmap file to Portable Network Graphics one and thus use of load_png in places of former load_bitmap the problem of unreal colors is gone

so probably the bitmap loader messes up endianness elias @ #allegro @ irc.freenode.net

Meanwhile this conversion reduced the space which pictures need more than twenty times
