COLOR_MAP(3)

✨ NAME ✨

COLOR_MAP — it stores a color map so drawing goes zoom zoom. Part of the Allegro game programming library, bestie. 🎀

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

#include <allegro.h>

typedef struct COLOR_MAP

okay so literally that's it, that's the whole vibe, she's a struct and she's iconic 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the struct has exactly one member and here she is:

unsigned char data[PAL_SIZE][PAL_SIZE];

that's the whole thing. a big ol' grid of bytes, PAL_SIZE by PAL_SIZE, no cap.

now if you wanna actually know how to get one of these and use it — like, the whole point of it — you gotta go read the chapter called "Transparency and patterned drawing", specifically the section "256-color transparency". that's where the lore lives. this page is just here to tell you the struct exists. she's giving mysterious. 💜

fr fr, don't skip the chapter, bestie, that's where the actual instructions are 🙈
