rotate_sprite_v_flip_trans(3)

💖 rotate_sprite_v_flip_trans 💖

ok so bestie, this one lives in the Allegro manual — yes, that Allegro, the game programming library, version 4.4.3, we're in our retro era and it's iconic. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

rotate_sprite_v_flip_trans — it rotates a sprite and flips it. Vertically. While being transparent. A whole triple threat, honestly. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void rotate_sprite_v_flip_trans(BITMAP *bmp, BITMAP *sprite, int x, int
y, fixed angle);

like, it's just a function, no cap. takes a BITMAP *bmp, a BITMAP *sprite, an int x, an int y, and a fixed angle. slay. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture rotate_sprite_trans, right? literally the same energy — but it flips the image vertically before rotating it. flip first, spin second, that's the order, periodt. 🙈

now, the way that you'd flip it horizontally instead? use this same routine but add itofix(128) to the angle. yes really, that's the move, iykyk. 💅

and if you want it flipped in both directions? then use rotate_sprite() and add itofix(128) to its angle. that's it. that's the whole trick. 🧚

bestie if you're out here doing horizontal flips and wondering why it looks weird — no you're not, you just forgot the itofix(128). we've all been there. 🫶
