How do I get PNG on the Desktop?


How do I get PNG on the Desktop?

Postby mmtbb » May 10, 2007 @ 3:42am

Do any of you know how I can use PNGs on the Desktop? THe version I have doesn't support it. That seems crazy to me. If anything I would think it would be the other way around. It seems like it would be easy to have the desktop support PNG, seeing as it has so much compatibility anyway.

I agree that it "should" work on the desktop too. I think most people use libpng, since it's free. If you use VS2005 (or its emulators anyway) PNGs work.

Are there downsides to this library?

You'll have to add your own support for sound, fonts and alpha-blitting. Most likely you can find links to all of those posted throughout this forum.

Otherwise, I'd have to say no. It really is a terrific library.
