normalize_vector(3)

💖 normalize_vector(3) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Allegro manual and this page is literally about normalize_vector and normalize_vector_f — the glow-up functions that turn your messy vector into a unit vector. yes ma'am, it's giving Allegro game programming library realness ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

normalize_vector, normalize_vector_f — Converts the vector to a unit vector. Allegro game programming library.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

void normalize_vector(fixed *x, fixed *y, fixed *z);

void normalize_vector_f(float *x, float *y, float *z);

like, that's the whole vibe. two functions, three pointers each, no cap 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Converts the vector (*x, *y, *z) to a unit vector. So it still points in the exact same direction as the original vector did — same vibe, same trajectory, same main character energy — but its length gets scaled down to one. 🦋

that's it. that's the whole thing. short, sweet, iconic.

fr fr, if you were hoping for a plot twist, there isn't one. it just makes the length 1. periodt. 👑
