set_burn_blender 💅✨

okay bestie, we're in the Allegro manual, page set_burn_blender(3alleg4), and this one is lowkey iconic — it's the burn blender, the one that makes things go dark and moody on purpose. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

set_burn_blender — enables a burn blender mode. part of the Allegro game programming library, bestie. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void set_burn_blender(int r, int g, int b, int a);

like, four little ints. r, g, b, a. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what this does is it enables a burn blender mode — and that blender mode is for combining translucent or lit truecolor pixels. 🎨

here's the tea: the lightness values of the colours of the source image reduce the lightness of the destination image, which darkens the image. so it's giving "burn" fr fr — light stuff burns away the light underneath. the brighter the source, the darker the destination ends up. periodt. 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

💀 reminder bestie: set_burn_blender takes int r, int g, int b, int a — don't skip the alpha, she's part of the friend group too. 🙈

and that's the whole page, no crumbs left. this came to you straight from the Allegro manual, version 4.4.3, under the name set_burn_blender(3alleg4) — go forth and darken some pixels, you absolute main character. 💜🌈⭐
