okay so this is the Allegro 5 API page from the Library Functions Manual, bestie — and yes, we're getting into blender business, but the bitmap kind, not the smoothie kind 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_bitmap_blender — Allegro 5 API 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_bitmap_blender(int op, int src, int dest)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this one sets the function to use for blending when rendering to the target bitmap. That's the whole main-character job, periodt.

And here's the fallback lore: if no blender is set for a given bitmap at draw time, the values set for al_set_blender(3)/al_set_separate_blender(3) are used instead. iykyk ✨

If you wanna use separate functions for chroma (RGB) and alpha channels, use al_set_separate_bitmap_blender(3) — that's the one for that specific vibe 🎀

Also, see al_set_blender(3) for more information about how blending works. Go read the blender lore, bestie. 🫶
