AL_CONVERT_MASK_TO_ALPHA(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the al_convert_mask_to_alpha(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s literally the Allegro 5 API entry: al_convert_mask_to_alpha - Allegro 5 API. No cap, that’s the whole name situation. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_convert_mask_to_alpha(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap, ALLEGRO_COLOR mask_color)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what it does: it converts the given mask color to an alpha channel in the bitmap. That’s the main-character move. ✨ It can be used to convert older 4.2-style bitmaps with magic pink to alpha-ready bitmaps — it’s giving “glow-up for old sprites,” honestly. 💅
