al_set_separate_blender(3alleg5)

✨ al_set_separate_blender ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the 3alleg5 manual 💖 this one's short and sweet, so let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_set_separate_blender — Allegro 5 API 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_separate_blender(int op, int src, int dst,
   int alpha_op, int alpha_src, int alpha_dst)

like, look at those six whole ints just vibing in there 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is literally al_set_blender(3alleg5) but make it fancier ✨ It does the exact same thing, except it also lets you set a separate blending operation for the alpha channel — its own alpha_op, its own alpha_src, its own alpha_dst, the whole little trio 🌈

why would you even want that, you ask? 🥺 bestie, it's for when your target bitmap has an alpha channel too, and those two alpha channels need to be combined in a different way than the color components are. that's it, that's the whole reason, and honestly? iconic 👑

not me giving alpha its own whole blender setup while the colors just stand there 💀 it's what she deserves though
