[SDL] Difference between a 1-bit image and an indexed image when loaded into surface

I am not sure, but i don't think
SDL supports Monochrome Surfaces.

As SDL was created in times when you had
at least 8 Bit Color Support with VGA.

Personally i would write a converter to
convert from normal PNG (Alpha) Images to
your own Monochrome Format or just do it runtime.

When you loaded a normal PNG (Alpha) and converted it,
you can just free the PNG (Alpha) Image and instead use
your own Mono. Format. As Mono.
