🌸 NAME

circle — draws a circle. 🦋

Allegro game programming library</purl> — that's the whole brand, that's the whole vibe, that's the whole function.

✨ SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro.h>

void circle(BITMAP *bmp, int x, int y, int radius, int color);

no cap, that's the whole signature. five arguments, zero drama. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION

Draws a circle with the specified centre and radius. ⭕

that's it. that's the function. you hand her a BITMAP *bmp, you tell her where the middle lives with x and y, you say how big with radius, and you pick the drip with color — and boom, circle. iconic behaviour fr fr.

heads up bestie: the colour you pass in is a packed colour value, so if you've got a separate r, g, b situation going on, you wanna run that through makecol first. iykyk. 💖
