💖 al_set_separate_blender(3) 💖

okay bestie, this page is from the Library Functions Manual and it's serving Allegro 5 API realness ✨. Let's get into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

al_set_separate_blender — Allegro 5 API 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_separate_blender(int op, int src, int dst,
   int alpha_op, int alpha_src, int alpha_dst)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So it's literally al_set_blender(3) energy, but with a separate glow-up for the alpha channel: it allows specifying a separate blending operation for alpha ✨. The way this is useful? If your target bitmap also has an alpha channel and the two alpha channels need to be combined in a different way than the color components, this is your moment 👑. It's giving “alpha said not today, color bestie,” but make it precise 💜.
