makecol_depth(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual page for makecol_depth — it converts an RGB value into the specified pixel format. It's giving Allegro game programming library energy, fr fr. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

int makecol_depth(int color_depth, int r, int g, int b);

No cap, that's the whole signature. color_depth, r, g, b — all int, all iconic. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This function is the glow-up translator between two worlds. It takes colors from a hardware independent format — red, green, and blue values ranging 0-255 — and converts them into the pixel format required by the specified color depth. 🦋

Example? Bestie, I got you:

/* Compose the green color for 15 bit color depth. */
int green_15bit = makecol_depth(15, 0, 255, 0);

The way that makecol_depth(15, 0, 255, 0) just pulls up with 0 red, 255 green, 0 blue and asks for a 15 bit color depth? Obsessed. 💚

💫 RETURN VALUE 💫

Returns the requested RGB triplet in the specified color depth. That's it, that's the return. Slay. ✨
