Can anybody please tell me what does blit function do in allegro and what exactly is bitmap?
A bitmap is a structure that contains the pixel data that make up an image/picture.
blit is a function in C used to copy pixel data from one bitmap onto another bitmap. It's also used to project a bitmap onto the screen, the screen being used as a bitmap.

allegro.cc is a good place to ask allegro questions.
blit is part of the outdated Allegro API. Use Allegro5.0 unless you need to maintain some old project written for an older version of allegro.
