exscale(3)

✨ exscale ✨

ok so this is exscale, straight out of the Allegro manual — it's a little demo page from the Allegro game programming library, and it's all about loading PCX files and stretching bitmaps 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

Example exscale

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, this example is literally a whole vibe check for three things at once: PCX files, palettes, and stretch blits. it loads up a PCX file, sets its palette, and then goes feral doing some random stretch_blits 🎀

and no, your eyes are not deceiving you — it's VERY slowed down on purpose, using vsync(). don't worry about it. it's giving "intentionally dramatic." it's supposed to be slow. slay 💅
