al_get_pixel(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_pixel — it's the Allegro 5 API function that goes and fetches a pixel's colour for you, bestie 💖 (yes this is from the Allegro reference manual, the 3alleg5 manual, and we're gonna get into it).

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_COLOR al_get_pixel(ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap, int x, int y)

okay so that's the whole vibe: you hand it a bitmap, an x, and a y, and it hands you back an ALLEGRO_COLOR. iconic 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: al_get_pixel gets you a pixel's colour value from the bitmap you specified. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

⚠️ but listen — this operation is slow on non-memory bitmaps. like, no cap, slow slow. so if you're gonna call it a bunch of times on the same bitmap, consider locking the bitmap first. fr fr, your future self will thank you 🙈

• ALLEGRO_COLOR(3alleg5) — the colour type you get back, go meet it 🌈
• al_put_pixel(3alleg5) — the putter to this getter, they're a matching set 🫶
• al_lock_bitmap(3alleg5) — the one you lock with when you're doing lots of pixels and don't wanna suffer 💀
