c++ Allegro 5 - drawing bitmap region over backgound

complete game programming newbie here so please bear with me. I'm trying to learn a bit about 2D game programming by trying to code a Space Invaders clone. I can draw the backgound image (an arcade .bmp with a magenta square, which is where the game would display), but I'm at a loss when trying to draw a spaceship in said square.

My code snippets are as follows (all includes are taken care of, since the background is being loaded).

Main method:

#SelectExpand
1ALLEGRO_BITMAP *background = al_load_bitmap("Resources/bkg.bmp"); 2 3 al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_display_event_source(display)); 4 al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_timer_event_source(timer)); 5 al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_keyboard_event_source()); 6 7 8 al_set_target_bitmap(al_get_backbuffer(display)); 9 al_clear_to_color(al_map_rgb(0,0,0)); 10 11Character spaceship("Recursos/ship.bmp" , "Resources/bullet.bmp" , 6 , 12 , 30, 20, 12 300, 530, -6, 3 , "Resources/sound.wav" , "Resources/explosion.wav"); 13 14 Character *player; 15 player = &spaceship; 16 17 al_convert_mask_to_alpha(background, al_map_rgb(255, 0 , 255)); 18 19 al_draw_bitmap(background,0,0,0); 20 spaceship.draw(player, background); 21 al_flip_display();

Game Character class:

#SelectExpand
1void Character::draw(Character* character, ALLEGRO_BITMAP* bkg){ 2 al_convert_mask_to_alpha(character->characterImg, al_map_rgb(255, 0 , 255)); 3 al_set_target_bitmap(bkg); 4 5 //al_draw_bitmap_region(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap, 6 //float sx, float sy, float sw, float sh, float dx, float dy, int flags) 7 8 al_draw_bitmap_region(character->characterImg, 0, 0, 28, 20, 100, 100, 0); 9 al_flip_display(); 10}
