okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS section of the SDL_GetRenderDrawColor(3) manual page — yes that's the manual name, it's giving very demure, very mindful, and it's all about peeking at the color your renderer is using for drawing stuff ✨

  • renderer — the rendering context. your whole vibe. the canvas holder, the moment.

  • b — a pointer that gets filled in with the blue value used to draw on the rendering target.
