makecol(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet makecol(3) 💖 — she's from the Allegro game programming library, and she converts an RGB value into the current pixel format. That's the whole vibe.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <allegro.h>

int makecol(int r, int g, int b);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

makecol converts colors from a hardware independent format — red, green, and blue values ranging 0-255 — to the pixel format required by the current video mode. She does that by calling the preceding 8, 15, 16, 24, or 32-bit makecol functions as appropriate. Lowkey iconic behavior. ✨

Example, because we love a demonstration:

/* Regardless of color depth, this will look green. */
int green_color = makecol(0, 255, 0);

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

Returns the requested RGB triplet in the current color depth. Periodt. 💖
