fade_out(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, meet fade_out(3) from the Allegro manual — it's a function in the Allegro game programming library that gradually fades the palette to black. iconic behavior, no cap. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

void fade_out(int speed);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically it fades gradually from the current palette to a black screen. The speed goes from 1 (the slowest, like a dramatic slow-mo) up to 64 (instantaneous, blink and it's gone). 💅

⚠️ Note: this function will block your game while the fade is in effect, and it won't work right visually if you are not in an 8 bit color depth resolution. fr fr, plan accordingly.
