Yes, once you know what a "target bitmap" is. But a typical Allegro user
will never have heard of such a concept.
Right now, if you want to open a window, load an image then draw the
image and also draw a line, the functions are:
al_create_display
al_load_bitmap
al_draw_bitmap
al_draw_line
Except that a window is called "display" and a picture is called
"bitmap", it's very logical naming.
Next, this Allegro user wants to clear the screen each frame to avoid
droppings when he moves the image (or line). "al_clear_target_bitmap"
will likely not sound like it's the right function. So that's what I
meant, it's technical naming. I'd be fine with that - but I'd prefer
al_clear_screen (or something like that), it's just a "nicer" name.
