HREF="sdlsetalpha.html"
>SDL_SetAlpha</A
> for an explaination of how this affects your results. Colorkeying and alpha attributes also interact with surface blitting, as the following pseudo-code should hopefully explain.
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>if (source surface has SDL_SRCALPHA set) {
    if (source surface has alpha channel (that is, format-&#62;Amask != 0))
        blit using per-pixel alpha, ignoring any colour key
    else {
        if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
            blit using the colour key AND the per-surface alpha value
        else
            blit using the per-surface alpha value
    }
} else {
    if (source surface has SDL_SRCCOLORKEY set)
        blit using the colour key
    else
        ordinary opaque rectangular blit

otherwise it returns <SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>-1</SPAN
>.</P
><P
>If either of the surfaces were in video memory, and the blit returns
<SPAN
CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
>-2</SPAN
>, the video memory was lost, so it should be
reloaded with artwork and re-blitted:
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>        while ( SDL_BlitSurface(image, imgrect, screen, dstrect) == -2 ) {
                while ( SDL_LockSurface(image)) &#60; 0 )
                        SDL_Delay(10);
                -- Write image pixels to image-&#62;pixels --
                SDL_UnlockSurface(image);
        }</PRE
>
This happens under DirectX 5.0 when the system switches away from your
fullscreen application.  Locking the surface will also fail until you
have access to the video memory again.</P
