Re: [AD] 2D sprites editing possible on compressed Gfx - Need Help!

[SiegeLord <siegelordex@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think Allegro can help you, as our image loading support only 
supports somewhat modern file formats.

I'd recommend finding LZSS decoder library, decoding your graphics and 
then saving them as PNGs for Allegro (or something else) to load them 
easily. For LZSS decoder libraries I found 
https://pypi.org/project/lzss/, maybe there's more.

Good luck!
