   float x, float y, int flags,
   const char *format, ...)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this one is formatted text output — she takes a printf() style format string and does the whole substitution thing for you, no cap. 💅

every other parameter? same meaning as with al_draw_text(3alleg5). literally identical vibes, she just also ate the formatting. periodt.
