💖 al_draw_ustr 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API reference manual, and today's main character is al_draw_ustr — she's from the allegro5 manual and she's here to put text on your screen. periodt. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

al_draw_ustr — draw some text, but make it USTR-flavoured. that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

void al_draw_ustr(const ALLEGRO_FONT *font,
   ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x, float y, int flags,
   const ALLEGRO_USTR *ustr)

like… look at her. so clean. so iconic. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, this is literally the same energy as al_draw_text(3alleg5) — same drawing, same everything — except the text you hand her is passed as an ALLEGRO_USTR instead of a NUL-terminated char array. that's it. that's the difference. and honestly? it's giving flexibility. ✨

ngl if you already know al_draw_text you already know this one, iykyk. 💅
