fixtoi(3)

💖 fixtoi — from the Allegro manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is fixtoi(3), straight out of the Allegro game programming library, and she's here to turn your fixed point numbers into regular integers. with rounding. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

fixtoi — converts a fixed point to integer with rounding. it lives in the Allegro game programming library, and yes she is that girl 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int fixtoi(fixed x);

like, that's it. one function. one argument. iconic behavior honestly.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: fixtoi takes your fixed point value and hands you back an integer, rounding as required to the nearest integer. no cap, that's the whole job and she does it beautifully ✨

here's the example, and no I did not touch a single character of it because I respect the craft:

int result;
/* This will put 33 into `result'. */
result = fixtoi(itofix(100) / 3);
/* But this will round up to 17. */
result = fixtoi(itofix(100) / 6);

see how the second one rounds up? the way that 100 / 6 does NOT give you 16... she said "we're going up to 17 bestie" and honestly? correct. main character energy fr fr 💜
