🎀 DESCRIPTION

so here's the tea: this function retrieves the components of an ALLEGRO_COLOR(3alleg5) 🎨 you hand it a color, and it unpacks that color into its red, green, blue and alpha pieces for you.

each of those components will range from 0-255 — that's the classic byte-scale situation, no decimals, no fractions, just clean whole numbers fr fr 🔥

and the bestie bonus? this function can be called before Allegro is initialized ✨ like, no setup era required, you can just call it whenever. iconic behavior honestly.

heads up: r, g, b and a are all unsigned char * — pointers, bestie. so make sure those point at somewhere real before you call this, or it's gonna be a bad time 😭
