al_fixtoi(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_fixtoi — it's giving Allegro 5 API 💖 (yes bestie, this is a page from the Allegro 5 manual, we're in the 3alleg5 section, iykyk)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_fixtoi(al_fixed x);

Look at her. One function, one argument, one int coming right back at you. Main character energy fr. 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so al_fixtoi takes your fixed point value and hands you back a plain old integer. That's it, that's the whole job. It rounds as required to the nearest integer — no cap, she does the rounding for you so you don't have to think about it. 🧚

Example, because seeing it is believing:

int result;

/* This will put 33 into `result'. */
result = al_fixtoi(al_itofix(100) / 3);

/* But this will round up to 17. */
result = al_fixtoi(al_itofix(100) / 6);

So like, 100 / 3 is 33.333... and she's like "33, slay." But 100 / 6 is 16.666... and she's like "okay that's basically 17, rounding up bestie." 😭✨ The rounding is nearest integer, not truncation, and that's the whole vibe check here.

Important-ish: don't assume it just chops off the decimal part — the docs literally say rounding as required to the nearest integer. That's the tea. 🍓
