Functions of Allegro 4 in Allegro 5 - c

Question

I have a code written in Allegro 4 and am converting it to Allegro 5, but I'm having serious problems with functions that no longer exist in allegro 5, one of them is "blit"
BITMAP *bTile; // Bitmap do tile;
BITMAP *bMapa; // Bitmap do mapa;
BITMAP *bTexturas[20]; // Vetor de bitmap das texturas;
BITMAP *bChar; // Bitmap do personagem;
BITMAP *bMario[3];
// ##########################################################
int main()
{
int vResolucao_x = 640;
int vResolucao_y = 480;
init(vResolucao_x, vResolucao_y);
BITMAP *buffer = create_bitmap(vResolucao_x, vResolucao_y);
bTile = load_bitmap("Tiles/tile.bmp", NULL);
bChar = load_bitmap("Tiles/mario.bmp", NULL);
bMapa = create_bitmap(vResolucao_x, vResolucao_y);
// ############# - Carrega imagens do mario - ############
bMario[0] = create_bitmap(vTile,vTile);
bMario[1] = create_bitmap(vTile,vTile);
bMario[2] = create_bitmap(vTile,vTile);
blit(bChar, bMario[0], 0, 0, 0, 0, vTile, vTile);
blit(bChar, bMario[1], 33, 0, 0, 0, vTile, vTile);
blit(bChar, bMario[2], 66, 0, 0, 0, vTile, vTile);
// #######################################################
install_int(fGravidade,5);
fCarrega_Sprites_Mapa();
fCarrega_Mapa();
fMostra_Mapa();
draw_sprite(screen, bMapa, 0, 0 );
while (!key[KEY_ESC]) {
Virtually nothing of this my old code works with Allegro 5, so I'm doing the conversion as I can learn, but this blit function, can not find its like in allegro 5, another function that I can not find your simulate is: install_int (...)

Answer 1

Allegro 5 is essentially a completely new library. Here's a line-by-line translation, as best as can be done. Note that Allegro 5 uses a fundamentally different concept (event loop) and you should really take the time to learn how that works before diving into trying to convert your code.
ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bMario[3];
// ##########################################################
int main()
{
int vResolucao_x = 640;
int vResolucao_y = 480;
init(vResolucao_x, vResolucao_y);
ALLEGRO_BITMAP *buffer = al_create_bitmap(vResolucao_x, vResolucao_y);
bTile = al_load_bitmap("Tiles/tile.bmp");
bChar = al_load_bitmap("Tiles/mario.bmp");
bMapa = al_create_bitmap(vResolucao_x, vResolucao_y);
// ############# - Carrega imagens do mario - ############
bMario[0] = al_create_bitmap(vTile,vTile);
bMario[1] = al_create_bitmap(vTile,vTile);
bMario[2] = al_create_bitmap(vTile,vTile);
al_set_target_bitmap(bMario[0]);
al_draw_bitmap(bchar, 0, 0, 0);
al_set_target_bitmap(bMario[1]);
al_draw_bitmap(bchar, 33, 0, 0);
al_set_target_bitmap(bMario[2]);
al_draw_bitmap(bchar, 66, 0, 0);
al_set_target_backbuffer(display);
// #######################################################
fGravidade = al_create_timer(5 / 1000.0); // ALLEGRO_TIMER*
ALLEGRO_EVENT_QUEUE *queue = al_create_event_queue();
al_register_event_source(queue, al_get_timer_event_source(gfGravidade));
al_register_event_source(queue, al_get_keyboard_event_source());
fCarrega_Sprites_Mapa();
fCarrega_Mapa();
fMostra_Mapa();
al_draw_bitmap(bMapa, 0, 0, 0);
al_flip_display();
while (true) {
ALLEGRO_EVENT event;
al_wait_for_event(queue, &event);
if (event.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_TIMER) {
// fGravidade ticked
}
else if (event.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_KEY_CHAR) {
if (event.keyboard.keycode == ALLEGRO_KEY_ESCAPE) {
break;
}
}
}
