anyway, I'd say the .png loading issues in this case are a known issue (native loaders suck, use libpng...) and you can move to the next one! :) elias @ #allegro @ irc.freenode.net

so then maybe test it with the current allegro5 and close ?🤔😉

on my side, allegro 5.2.9.1 asked for opengl and xcursor

sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libxcursor-dev

I’m closing this issue

any other gotchas like “transitions between screens are very slow with allegro5,” “it shows the crocodile icon,” et cetera go to new issues
