💖 excamera(3) 💖

ok so bestie, this is a page from the Allegro manual, and it's all about viewing a 3d world from an arbitrary camera position ✨ lowkey iconic tbh

✨ NAME ✨

excamera — viewing a 3d world from an arbitrary camera position. It's part of the Allegro game programming library 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

Example excamera

like. that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she's minimal, she's demure 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: this program is literally a demonstration — a lil showcase — of how you use the get_camera_matrix() function to view a 3d world from any position and angle. any. periodt 💅

The example draws a checkered floor through a viewport region on the screen, which ngl is giving very much "graphics demo from a magazine cover disc" and I am obsessed 😭💖

You can use the keyboard to:

  • move around the camera 🎥
  • modify the size of the viewport 📐

and the keys that can be used with this example are displayed between brackets at the top of the screen — so if you ever forget what does what, just look up bestie, it's right there ✨

no cap, the on-screen key list is the whole tutorial. read the brackets. the brackets are your friend 🫶

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the whole girl squad, in order, no skips:

Allegro version 4.4.3 — that's the source and the version, and the page itself is excamera(3), dated right there at the bottom of the og page 🎀

ok bye bestie, go move that camera around, slay 💅✨🌸🦋💖
