ALLEGRO_SHADER_PLATFORM(3alleg5)

💖 ALLEGRO_SHADER_PLATFORM 💖

okay bestie, so this is from the Allegro 5 API manual and it's literally the page for ALLEGRO_SHADER_PLATFORM ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_SHADER_PLATFORM ALLEGRO_SHADER_PLATFORM;

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this enum is the underlying platform that your ALLEGRO_SHADER(3alleg5) gets built on top of, and bestie, that choice is the whole vibe — it's what decides which language you're gonna be programming the shader in 🎀

Like, it's giving "pick your fighter" but for shader languages, no cap.

• ALLEGRO_SHADER_AUTO — picks a platform for you automatically, based on whatever the current display flags are. main character energy, it just handles it 💅
• ALLEGRO_SHADER_GLSL — OpenGL Shading Language 🦋
• ALLEGRO_SHADER_HLSL — High Level Shader Language (this one's for Direct3D) 🌈
• ALLEGRO_SHADER_AUTO_MINIMAL — same energy as ALLEGRO_SHADER_AUTO, but it picks a more minimal implementation that may not support alpha testing ⚠️ like, it's the lowkey version
• ALLEGRO_SHADER_GLSL_MINIMAL — Minimal GLSL shader 🌸
• ALLEGRO_SHADER_HLSL_MINIMAL — Minimal HLSL shader 💜
• ALLEGRO_SHADER_HLSL_SM_3_0 — HLSL shader using shader model 3_0 🔥

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.0 — yeah she's been here a minute, iconic behavior 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! every flag, every name, nothing skipped, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓
