SDL_Color(3)

✨ SDL_Color(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL API Reference 💖 this is a page from the SDL manual, and it's literally about colors, so you KNOW we're gonna have fun with it 🌈

🎀 NAME 🎀

SDL_Color — a format independent color description 💅 no cap, that's the whole vibe.

🧚 STRUCTURE DEFINITION 🧚

here's the shape of it, character for character, don't @ me:

typedef struct{
  Uint8 r;
  Uint8 g;
  Uint8 b;
  Uint8 unused;
} SDL_Color;

look at her. four little Uint8s. iconic. 👑

🌸 STRUCTURE DATA 🌸

• r — red intensity 🔥
• g — green intensity 💚
• b — blue intensity 💙
• unused — unused 🙈 yeah she's just... there. chilling. not doing anything. main character energy without a storyline.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way that SDL_Color works is that it describes a color in a format independent way. like, it's not tied to any one pixel format, she's flexible, she contains multitudes 💜

and if you wanna turn an SDL_Color into an actual pixel value for a certain pixel format? you use SDL_MapRGB. that's the move. that's the conversion. slay. ✨
