✨ NAME ✨

al_get_current_transform β€” literally the Allegro 5 API, bestie πŸ’–

okay so this is the al_get_current_transform(3alleg5) page, and it's a short one but it's a good one, so let's go πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

const ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM *al_get_current_transform(void)

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's simple, she's clean, she serves πŸ’…


πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

Okay so picture this: you've got a target bitmap, right? And somebody (maybe you, maybe your code, no judgement) called al_use_transform(3alleg5) on it and set a transformation. Now you're sitting there like... what was that transform tho 😭

That's literally what this function is for, bestie. It hands you back the transformation of the current target bitmap β€” the one that got set by al_use_transform(3alleg5).

⚠️ but here's the tea: if there is no target bitmap at all, this function returns NULL. Not a transform, not a default, just NULL. So vibe check your pointers before you dereference, fr fr πŸ’€

Returns: a pointer to the current transformation. that's it. that's the whole return value. iconic πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ SEE ALSO πŸŽ€


and that's the page!! this was the Allegro reference manual, al_get_current_transform(3alleg5), and like all good things she's short and sweet and probably older than you think 🌈 stay slay, protect your pointers, and remember: no target bitmap means NULL, periodt πŸ’–βœ¨
