Allegro manual — textprintf_right_ex(3) 💖 bestie we are SO doing right-aligned text today.

✨ NAME ✨

textprintf_right_ex — formatted right aligned output of a string. It's part of the Allegro game programming library, periodt. 👑

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

       #include <allegro.h>

       void textprintf_right_ex(BITMAP *bmp, const FONT *f, int x, y, color,
       bg, const char *fmt, ...);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so it's like textprintf_ex() but — plot twist — the x coordinate is interpreted as the right edge of the string, not the left. So your text gets right-aligned, slay. 🦋

Heads up bestie: this function shares the text length limitation of textprintf_ex(). So don't come for me if your string is too long, it's giving same limits. 😭

Example time, look at this:

          textprintf_right_ex(screen, font, SCREEN_W - 10, 10,
                              makecol(200, 200, 20), -1,
                              "%d bullets left", player_ammo);

That's the whole vibe. The x is SCREEN_W - 10, so the right edge sits 10 pixels from the right. Cute.
