xor_mode(3)

✨ NAME ✨

xor_mode — bestie it's literally just a shortcut for flipping xor drawing mode on and off 💅 (also, hi, you're in the Allegro game programming library manual, welcome 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void xor_mode(int on);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so. this is a shortcut for toggling xor drawing mode on and off. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a tiny little convenience function and she is serving ✨

calling xor_mode(TRUE) is equivalent to:

drawing_mode(DRAW_MODE_XOR, NULL, 0, 0)

and calling xor_mode(FALSE) is equivalent to:

drawing_mode(DRAW_MODE_SOLID, NULL, 0, 0)

so like, instead of typing out the whole drawing_mode(...) situation every single time, you just yell TRUE or FALSE at this girl and she handles it. lowkey iconic. no cap. 🎀

note bestie: TRUE = xor mode ON, FALSE = back to solid mode. don't get it twisted 🙈
