adime_bmp(3)

💖 adime_bmp — the "where do we even draw this thing" global 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the adime_bmp page from the Adime API Reference. it's a tiny page but it's a load-bearing tiny page, so let's get into it. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <adime.h>

BITMAP *adime_bmp;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one global pointer. one job. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: if you want your dialog to show up on some specific video bitmap instead of <pink>screen</pink>, you just point this bad boy at that bitmap. done. slay. 💅

when is that useful, you ask? it's particulary useful (yes, that's the spelling in the original, we respect the original 🫶) if you've somehow scrolled away from the top-left area of your video memory and you want the dialog to land on the video memory that's currently visible — instead of on the default location like some NPC. lowkey iconic behaviour.

and if this is <cyan>NULL</cyan> — which it is by default, no cap — then adime_dialogf() & co will scroll to the top-left corner of <pink>screen</pink> and use that part to display the dialog on. like, they'll handle it. they got you. 😭

tl;dr: set it to a bitmap → dialog goes there. leave it <cyan>NULL</cyan> → dialog gets dropped in the top-left corner of <pink>screen</pink>. either way you're eating. 🍓

and that's the whole page, bestie. go forth and point your pointers at the right pixels. ✨

this has been adime_bmp from Adime, version 2.2.1 — mwah, drink some water, and may your dialogs always render exactly where you expected them to. 💖🧚‍♀️🌸
