AL_SET_NEW_BITMAP_FORMAT(3)

✨ al_set_new_bitmap_format ✨

okay bestie, so this is from the Allegro 5 API fam — a little function that sets the vibe for every new bitmap you make from here on out 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_new_bitmap_format(int format)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, this one sets the pixel format — that's ALLEGRO_PIXEL_FORMAT(3), iykyk — for bitmaps that get created fresh from now on ✨

The default format is 0, and ngl that 0 is lowkey main character energy: it literally means the display driver will pick the best format for you 👑 no cap, it just handles it.

💡 it's giving "set it and forget it" — you call this once and every new bitmap after that inherits the vibe 🎀
