🌸 NAME 🌸

ALLEGRO_HAPTIC — Allegro 5 API.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_HAPTIC ALLEGRO_HAPTIC;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so ALLEGRO_HAPTIC is an abstract data type. it represents a haptic device that supports force feedback or vibration. that’s the whole main-character job: it’s the abstract handle for the hardware that can rumble, buzz, or otherwise do the force-feedback thing. no cap. 💅

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.8

[Unstable API]: Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users.

not me telling you to read the warning: this one is marked Unstable API, and the note says it could maybe be simplified because support for all the exposed features is limited across all of the platforms. it’s awaiting feedback from users, fr fr. 🫶
