al_itofix(3)                                                      al_itofix(3)

NAME
       al_itofix - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

              al_fixed al_itofix(int x);

DESCRIPTION
       Converts an integer to fixed point.  This is the same thing as x<<16.
       Remember that overflows (trying to convert an integer greater than
       32767) and underflows (trying to convert an integer lesser than -32768)
       are not detected even in debug builds! The values simply "wrap around".

       Example:

                  al_fixed number;

                  /* This conversion is OK. */
                  number = al_itofix(100);
                  assert(al_fixtoi(number) == 100);

                  number = al_itofix(64000);

                  /* This check will fail in debug builds. */
                  assert(al_fixtoi(number) == 64000);

RETURN VALUE
       Returns the value of the integer converted to fixed point ignoring
       overflows.
