render_scene(3)

hey bestie!! welcome to the Allegro manual page for render_scene(3) — yes, the scene-rendering one. it's giving graphics pipeline, but make it cute. 🎀✨

✨ NAME ✨

render_scene — renders all the queued scene polygons. this lives in the Allegro game programming library. periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the summoning circle:

#include <allegro.h>

void render_scene();

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

render_scene() renders all the specified scene_polygon3d()s onto the bitmap that got passed to clear_scene(). yes, every single one. 🫶

Rendering is done one scanline at a time, and no pixel gets processed more than once. the way it just sweeps through?? iconic. 🔥

bestie, between clear_scene() and render_scene(), you shouldn't change the clip rectangle of the destination bitmap. for speed reasons, you should set the clip rectangle to the minimum. no cap. 🫶

also note: all the textures passed to scene_polygon3d() are stored as pointers only, and they are actually used in render_scene(). so like, they're not baked in early — they get used later, bestie. 🦋
