exdbuf(3alleg4)

💖 exdbuf — it's giving "no more flicker, bestie" 💖

okay so this is a page from the Allegro manual (that's the 3alleg4 bit, iykyk) and it's all about exdbuf, an example program. Allegro game programming library, for the record. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

Example exdbuf

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, this program is a whole demo of double buffering. it moves a circle across the screen, and it does it twice — first the messy way, just erasing and redrawing directly to the screen, and then the slay way, with a double buffer. that's it, that's the glow-up arc. 🦋✨
