✨ triangle(3) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about triangle — a little function from the Allegro game programming library and honestly? it does exactly what it says on the tin. no cap. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

triangle — draws a filled triangle. Allegro game programming library.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she fills a triangle. iconic behaviour, honestly. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

so here's how you actually call her:

#include <allegro.h>

void triangle(BITMAP *bmp, int x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, int color);

look at that signature. so clean. so simple. the way she just takes a BITMAP *bmp and then three whole points and a color... main character energy fr fr. ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Draws a filled triangle between the three points.

that's literally it, bestie. you give her three points, she gives you a triangle, and it's filled — not just an outline, not a sketch, not a "we'll finish it later" situation. filled. periodt. 👑

like... the way that you just hand over x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3 and she handles the rest? lowkey obsessed. 🫶
