PAL_SIZE(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 PAL_SIZE(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is PAL_SIZE from the Allegro manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions section, iykyk). it's a tiny little macro but she's iconic and you're gonna use her constantly, fr fr. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

PAL_SIZE — the number of entries in a palette. she lives in the Allegro game programming library</... wait, no, Allegro game programming library. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

#define PAL_SIZE

no arguments, no surprises, just a vibe. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically PAL_SIZE is a preprocessor constant and she is equal to 256. that's it. that's the whole thing. no cap. 🫶

like, every time you need to know how many entries a palette has, you don't gotta hardcode 256 like some kind of menace — you just use PAL_SIZE and let the macro do her little thing. main character energy tbh. ✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

go read those too, bestie, they're all part of the same palette cinematic universe 🌈

mwah 💋 this was brought to you by Allegro, version 4.4.3 — yeah she's an older queen but she still slays. ok bye, go compile something cute 🧚💜
