textprintf_right_ex(3alleg4)

💖 textprintf_right_ex — Allegro manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you're in the Allegro game programming library and you want your text to hug the right side instead of the left? say less. this is textprintf_right_ex, and she eats. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

void textprintf_right_ex(BITMAP *bmp, const FONT *f, int x, y, color,
bg, const char *fmt, ...);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically she's giving textprintf_ex() energy, except — plot twist — she reads that x coordinate as the right edge of your string instead of the left one. that's it. that's the whole vibe. right-aligned formatted output, periodt. 💅

⚠️ heads up bestie: this function shares the text length limitation of textprintf_ex(). no cap, same caveat, so don't come for her when your mega-string gets weird. 😭

and here's a lil example so you can see her in her natural habitat:

textprintf_right_ex(screen, font, SCREEN_W - 10, 10,
                    makecol(200, 200, 20), -1,
                    "%d bullets left", player_ammo);

like… SCREEN_W - 10?? that's the right edge, she's counting from the other side, main character behavior fr fr. 👑
