al_draw_line(3)
π al_draw_line β Allegro 5 API, bestie edition β¨
Okay so this is straight out of the Allegro reference manual, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little primitives you'll ever meet. We're talking al_draw_line β the icon, the main character, the "I just need one line fr fr" of the Allegro 5 API. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
Like, here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no cap:
#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>
void al_draw_line(float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2,
ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float thickness)
Yes bestie, that's allegro_primitives.h β you gotta include it or nothing works and you'll be sad. π«Ά
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
It draws a line segment between two points. That's it. That's the whole thing. Two points, one line, slay. β¨
π¦ Parameters (aka the cast of characters)
x1, y1, x2, y2β the start and end points of the line. So like, where it begins and where it ends. Iconic coordinates behavior. πcolorβ the color of the line. Pick your vibe. πthicknessβ the thickness of the line. And listen, this part matters: pass<= 0to draw hairline lines. That's the move when you want it whisper-thin. π§
Lowkey important: <= 0 doesn't mean "no line", it means hairline line. Don't panic. π
