okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro 5 API manual (that's the 3alleg5 situation, iykyk) and it's genuinely one of those little functions that saves your whole entire life once you get what it does. let's get into it π

#include <allegro5/allegro_opengl.h>
void al_get_opengl_texture_position(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap, int *u, int *v)
π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the tea, bestie π«: this function hands you back the u/v coordinates for the top/left corner of the bitmap within the texture that's actually being used. and yeah β those numbers are in pixels. pixels, periodt. πβ¨
the way it works is you pass in your ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap, and it fills in the int *u and int *v you hand it. main character energy: the function writes into your pointers, you just gotta give it somewhere to write. π
lowkey important:uandvare pointers, so pass the addresses of your ints, not the ints themselves. don't be out here passing values, bestie π
