so basically, al_put_blended_pixel is exactly like al_put_pixel(3alleg5)β¦ except β and this is the part that eats π
β the pixel's color gets blended using the current blenders before it's drawn.
read that again, bestie. not after. before. the blending happens first, then the pixel shows up on screen. it's giving "getting ready before the party" fr fr π¦
so if you've got blenders set up (you know, the whole alpha / additive / whatever situation), this function actually respects them instead of just yeeting a raw color onto your bitmap. main character behavior honestly π
