POLYTYPE_ATEX_MASK(3)

✨ NAME ✨

POLYTYPE_ATEX_MASK, POLYTYPE_PTEX_MASK — it's giving polygon rendering mode type, bestie 💅 and it lives in the Allegro game programming library.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

#define POLYTYPE_ATEX_MASK

#define POLYTYPE_PTEX_MASK

okay so literally just two #defines, no args, no drama, we love a low-maintenance icon 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So you already know POLYTYPE_ATEX and POLYTYPE_PTEX? These are them but with a glow-up ✨

The difference is tiny but iconic: texture map pixels that are zero get skipped. Like, straight up ghosted 👻 So parts of your texture map can be transparent, and the polygon behind them shows through. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

tl;dr: same as POLYTYPE_ATEX and POLYTYPE_PTEX, but zero texture map pixels are skipped, allowing parts of the texture map to be transparent. 💖
