get_translation_matrix(3alleg4)

✨ NAME ✨

get_translation_matrix, get_translation_matrix_f — bestie these build you a translation matrix 💫 (from the Allegro game programming library, iykyk)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void get_translation_matrix(MATRIX *m, fixed x, fixed y, fixed z);

void get_translation_matrix_f(MATRIX_f *m, float x, float y, float z);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so. get_translation_matrix constructs a translation matrix and stores it in m. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

when you apply this matrix to the point (px, py, pz), it will produce the point (px+x, py+y, pz+z) — literally just adds x to the x, y to the y, z to the z. math is so iconic sometimes.

in other words, it moves things sideways. periodt. 🦋

and the _f version? same energy, same everything, except it takes floats and a MATRIX_f instead of fixeds and a MATRIX. slay. ✨
