🌸 NAME 🌸

save_pcx — saves a bitmap into a PCX file. Allegro game programming library. periodt. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

int save_pcx(const char *filename, BITMAP *bmp, const RGB *pal);

like, that's the whole summoning circle right there. 🕯️

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she does is: she writes a bitmap into a PCX file. that's it. that's the girl. 👑

and not just any PCX, bestie — she writes it as a 256-color PCX or a 24-bit truecolor PCX. two whole formats, one iconic function. she contains multitudes. 🌈

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

she returns non-zero on error. so like, zero = we slayed, non-zero = something went tf wrong. 💀
