💖 fli_bitmap — the Allegro manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is the fli_bitmap(3alleg4) page from the Allegro game programming library manual, and it's genuinely short but also lowkey iconic so let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fli_bitmap — it holds the current frame of the animation. that's it. that's the whole job. Allegro game programming library, periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the literal vibe:

#include <allegro.h>

extern BITMAP *fli_bitmap;

not me giving you the whole thing in four lines 😭

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so fli_bitmap contains the current frame of the FLI/FLC animation. that's the one you're watching right now, bestie, the frame that's on screen at this exact moment 💅

and if there is no open animation? its value will be NULL. yeah. no animation, no frame, just NULL staring back at you 🙈 so pls check it before you go dereferencing anything, i am begging 🫶

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

the little friend group of related pages, go read them too:

that's the whole page!! short, sweet, ate and left no crumbs 💖

okay and for the little sign-off moment: this was Allegro, version 4.4.3 — that's the source and version, mwah 🎀 the manual name up top was fli_bitmap(3alleg4), in case you forgot where you were, and that's a wrap, slay, bye bestie 🌸✨
