πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

Okay so we're in the Library Functions Manual, and the main character is al_fixatan β€” a certified Allegro 5 API function, no cap. ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the little summoning circle, bestie β€” copy it exactly:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

al_fixed al_fixatan(al_fixed x)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so al_fixatan finds the inverse tangent of a value using a lookup table. The inverse tangent is literally the value whose tangent is x β€” that's the definition, iykyk. πŸŽ€

Bestie, the input must be a fixed point value. That's the rule. πŸ’€

Example moment:

al_fixed result;

/* Sets result to binary angle 13. */
result = al_fixatan(al_ftofix(0.326));

πŸ‘‘ RETURN VALUE πŸ‘‘

It returns the inverse tangent of a fixed point value, measured as a fixed point binary format angle. Slay. πŸ’…
