d_box_proc(3alleg4)

💖 d_box_proc — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Allegro manual, and it's all about two lil dialog procedures that just… draw boxes. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic behavior. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

d_box_proc, d_shadow_box_proc — dialog procedures that draw boxes onto the screen, from the Allegro game programming library. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int d_box_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c);

int d_shadow_box_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c);

like yes bestie, two whole functions, same exact signature, and #include <allegro.h> first or nothing works. periodt. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically these two draw boxes onto the screen. that's the vibe. 🫶

the only difference? one of them gives your box a shadow and the other one is like, no shadow, we're minimal, we're clean, we're giving flat design energy. 🌈

• d_box_proc — draws a box. no shadow. simple. gorgeous.
• d_shadow_box_proc — draws a box, but make it shadowed. main character energy fr fr. 👑

ngl that's genuinely all the manual says, so I'm not gonna sit here and invent lore. no cap, no extra claims, just boxes. 📦
