💅 storepop_video_context(3) — the Arcan Lua API one

So bestie, the manual name here is storepop_video_context(3) and it lives in the Arcan Lua API world — welcome to the vidsys girlies 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

storepop_video_context — literally renders your current video context into an object, then pops the context. That's the whole vibe. 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

contextind, newvid
storepop_video_context()

Two return values, no arguments, no drama. Periodt. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so the storepush/storepop category of functions is basically the regular push/pop context functions but with a little something extra, iykyk 🫶

The difference? The new context will contain an object whose storage holds a screenshot of the previous context. Like, the old context got its picture taken before it left the group chat. Iconic behavior honestly. 📸

👑 NOTES 👑

  1. If the underlying context is fully allocated, the function will return BADID — but listen, the pop operation will, however, suceed. So don't panic, it still goes through 😭
  2. This is a reasonably costly operation, ngl. It relies on using the screenshot function into a temporary buffer, which is then used as input to rawobject. So it's giving main character energy but it's also giving expensive energy. Be mindful, bestie 💀

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

function storepop_video_context0()
      a = fill_surface(100, 100, 0, 255, 0);
      show_image(a);
      b = storepop_video_context();
      show_image(b);
      print(valid_vid(a), valid_vid(b));
end

That's it. That's the whole demonstration. Slay. 💅
