✨ exshade — Gouraud shaded sprites ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual 💖 this one's a lil example program from the Allegro game programming library, and it's genuinely so cute, you're gonna be obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

exshade — Gouraud shaded sprites. Allegro game programming library. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

Example exshade

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this program is literally a demo of how to draw Gouraud shaded (aka lit) sprites. ✨

here's the setup: the screen looks totally black at first (spooky, lowkey giving void energy 🌑), and then a sprite that looks like a whole planet gets drawn close to the middle of the screen. 🪐

and the way it works is super similar to how the first test of extrans does its thing — you move the cursor around the screen with the mouse. 🖱️ and attached to that mouse, imagine a little virtual spotlight illuminating the scene around it. 🔦✨

depending on where the mouse is, the Gouraud shaded sprite will show the direction of the light. like, it reacts to you. main character energy fr fr. 🌟
