π ALLEGRO_VERTEX_CACHE_SIZE π
okay bestie, so this one's from the Allegro 5 API β the Allegro reference manual, 3alleg5 girlies know β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
#include <allegro5/allegro_primitives.h>
#define ALLEGRO_VERTEX_CACHE_SIZE 256
π DESCRIPTION π
So ALLEGRO_VERTEX_CACHE_SIZE is literally the number that sets the size of the transformation vertex cache for the software renderer. π
Here's the tea: if you pass less than this many vertices to the primitive rendering functions, you get a speed boost. slay. not more than, less than. the cache eats it up and you go zoom. ποΈβ¨
It also defines the size of the cache vertex buffer, which is the one used for the high-level primitives. π«Ά
And that buffer size corresponds to the maximum number of line segments that will be used to form them. so like, that's the ceiling, bestie. π
no cap: 256 is the default value this macro is defined to. that's the vibe. π¦
π SEE YOU LATER π
