I still cannot figure out how to make my sprites transparent? If I
for ex. have an object with the shape of a bone, how to make the
background of the bone sprite transparent so that when I display the
bone sprite against a background picture, I don't have a square image
with black areas around the bone but just the pure bone image against
the background.
