al_set_new_bitmap_depth(3)

💖 al_set_new_bitmap_depth(3) 💖

okay bestie, this is the Allegro reference manual page for the Allegro 5 API, and the main character is al_set_new_bitmap_depth — say that three times fast, i dare you 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_set_new_bitmap_depth — Allegro 5 API, periodt ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lowkey all the setup you need is this header, plus the signature exactly like this:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_new_bitmap_depth(int depth)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function sets the depthbuffer depth used by newly created bitmaps (on the current thread) if they're used with al_set_target_bitmap(3). got it? iconic.

and 0 means no depth-buffer will be created when drawing into the bitmap — which is the default, no cap. so if you want zero depth-buffer vibes, you literally already have them 💀

🎀 SINCE 🎀

5.2.1, slay 💖

[Unstable API]: This is an experimental feature and currently only works for the OpenGL backend. so yeah, experimental queen behavior — OpenGL backend only for now, bestie 😭🔥
