pivot_sprite_trans(3alleg4)

✨ NAME ✨

pivot_sprite_trans — rotates a sprite around a specified point, bestie 💫 (this is the Allegro game programming library, in case you were wondering, and it's section 3alleg4 of the manual 🎀)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void pivot_sprite_trans(BITMAP *bmp, BITMAP *sprite, int x, int y, int cx, int cy, fixed angle);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: it's giving rotate_sprite_trans() energy, right? Same vibe, same family 💖 — but with a lil twist.

Here's the tea ☕: it takes the point in the sprite that you hand it as (cx, cy) and aligns that exact point onto (x, y) in the bitmap. Then — and this is the main character moment 👑 — it rotates the whole thing around that very point. Like the pivot IS the point, no cap.

So (cx, cy) is your ✨anchor✨ and (x, y) is where that anchor lands, and then the sprite just spins around it. Obsessed, honestly. 🌀💅
