okay so bestie, welcome to al_get_opengl_texture(3) — it’s from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s here to hand you the OpenGL texture id for a bitmap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_opengl_texture — Allegro 5 API 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro_opengl.h>

GLuint al_get_opengl_texture(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Returns the OpenGL texture id internally used by the given bitmap if it uses one, else 0. Lowkey simple, highkey useful. 🦋

Example — and yes, keep it exactly like this:

texture = al_get_opengl_texture(bitmap);
if (texture != 0)
    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);

mwah 💋 — this page comes from the Allegro reference manual, and it’s al_get_opengl_texture(3). The original footer didn’t give a version or date, so I’m not inventing one, periodt. 🫶
