al_color_rgb_to_html 💖 (a.k.a. the Allegro 5 API girlies' favorite glow-up function)

okay bestie, sit DOWN, because this one is literally the cutest little function in the whole Allegro 5 color corner and she deserves her moment 💅

✨ NAME ✨

al_color_rgb_to_html — she takes your float-y RGB vibes and turns them into a pretty HTML hex string, no cap 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_color.h>

void al_color_rgb_to_html(float red, float green, float blue,
    char *string)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea ☕: this function creates an HTML-style string representation of an ALLEGRO_COLOR(3alleg5), like for example #00faff. Iconic. Gorgeous. Served. 🌈

Parameters 🫶

  • red, green, blue — the color components, and they live in the range 0..1. Yes, floats, not 0-255, don't come at me 🙈
  • string — a pointer to a buffer that is at least 8 bytes, into which the result gets written. And yes babes, that 8 counts the NUL terminator, she's included, she's part of the squad 💀

Example ⭐

char html[8];
al_color_rgb_to_html(1, 0, 0, html);

and after that runs, html will contain "#ff0000". red era. main character energy. periodt. 👑

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

go read those too, they're her sisters, the whole family eats 🍓

💡 little reminder bestie: that buffer is 8 bytes minimum including the NUL, so don't skimp on her, she needs the room to glow 🦋
