Remarks
The color key defines a pixel value that will be treated as transparent in a blit. It is a pixel of the format used by the surface, as generated by SDL_MapRGB().
RLE acceleration can substantially speed up blitting of images with large horizontal runs of transparent pixels. See SDL_SetSurfaceRLE() for details.
