set_color_blender(3alleg4)

💖 set_color_blender — bestie edition 💖

okay so we're in the Allegro manual today, and the function on the slab is set_color_blender(3alleg4). Allegro game programming library, if you didn't know — now you do. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

set_color_blender — it enables a color blender mode. that's the whole gig. part of the Allegro game programming library, periodt. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

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

four ints walk into a function. it's giving r, g, b, a. no cap. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, bestie. calling this turns on a color blender mode, and what that mode does is combine translucent or lit truecolor pixels together. it's literally the mixing desk for your pixels. 🎛️

but here's the part you actually need to remember, and it's lowkey the main character of this whole manpage: this blender only applies the hue and saturation of the source image onto the destination image. that's it. that's the whole contribution. 🙈

and the luminance of the destination image? untouched. not affected. it stays exactly where it was, minding its own business. so if you were expecting the brightness to move too — no ma'am, it does not. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was Allegro version 4.4.3 doing its thing, so go forth and blend those hues and saturations with confidence. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶
