ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS(3)

💅 ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS(3) — Library Functions Manual

🌸 NAME

ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS — Allegro 5 API. That’s the name line, bestie, and it’s serving exactly what it says.

✨ SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

enum ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS

🎀 DESCRIPTION

Okay so this enum is literally the flag stash for defining haptic effects and capabilities. If a flag is set in the return value of al_get_haptic_capabilities(3), it means the device supports the given effect. The value of these flags should be set into a ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT(3) struct to determine what kind of haptic effect should be played.

Here are the flags, in the exact order the page gives them:

• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_RUMBLE — simple vibration effects. Basic buzz energy, no cap.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_PERIODIC — periodic, wave-form effects.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANT — constant effects.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SPRING — spring effects.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_FRICTION — friction effects.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_DAMPER — damper effects.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_INERTIA — inertia effects.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_RAMP — ramp effects.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SQUARE — square wave periodic effect.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_TRIANGLE — triangle wave periodic effect.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SINE — sine wave periodic effect.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SAW_UP — upwards saw wave periodic effect.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SAW_DOWN — downwards saw wave periodic effect.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CUSTOM — custom wave periodic effect.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_GAIN — the haptic device supports gain setting.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_ANGLE — the haptic device supports angle coordinates.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_RADIUS — the haptic device supports radius coordinates.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_AZIMUTH — the haptic device supports azimuth coordinates.
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_AUTOCENTER

5.1.8. Periodt. 💅

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

🔥 SEE ALSO

Go peek at al_get_haptic_capabilities(3) and ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT(3) next, bestie. Those are the SEE ALSO besties, and they are lowkey important.

💖 Signed off from the Allegro reference manual — footer says ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS(3), and there’s no date line on the footer, so that’s the whole cute receipt. 🫶✨
