exscale(3alleg4)

✨ exscale ✨

okay bestie, this is the exscale page from the Allegro manual (that's 3alleg4, the Allegro game programming library if you're new here 🫶). It's giving very much "load a picture, stretch it around, vibe" and honestly? Iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

exscale — loading PCX files and bitmap stretching, brought to you by the Allegro game programming library 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

Example exscale

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this example is literally a whole demo of how to use PCX files, palettes, and stretch blits. It loads a PCX file, sets its palette, and then does a bunch of random stretch_blits just for the vibes ✨

and before you come at me about it running slow — don't worry, bestie 😭 it's VERY slowed down using vsync(). On purpose. That's the point. Not me making it laggy on purpose, the code is literally doing that, fr fr.
