ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS(3alleg5)

💖 ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about an enum from the Allegro 5 API (yes, 3alleg5, the whole manual section, hi) and it's genuinely one of those little guys that decides everything about what actually gets written. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_WRITE_MASK_FLAGS {

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea, and it's honestly so simple it's iconic: this is a bitmask, and every single bit in it is a yes/no switch. 🦋

• If a bit is enabled, the corresponding value gets written. ✍️
• If a bit is disabled, that value does not get written. 🚫

That's it. That's the whole vibe. No cap.

Here's the full lineup of bits you can flip, bestie:

• ALLEGRO_MASK_RED — the red channel's lil permission slip 💅
• ALLEGRO_MASK_GREEN — green channel, go off 🌿
• ALLEGRO_MASK_BLUE — blue channel, slay 💙
• ALLEGRO_MASK_ALPHA — alpha channel, the transparency diva ✨
• ALLEGRO_MASK_DEPTH — depth, for the 3D girlies 🫶
• ALLEGRO_MASK_RGB — same as RED | GREEN | BLUE. literally the trio, periodt 🌈
• ALLEGRO_MASK_RGBA — same as RGB | ALPHA. the trio plus alpha, main character energy 👑
