ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK_STATE(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK_STATE(3) page from the Allegro reference manual, and it's all about ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK_STATE — literally the Allegro 5 API struct for joystick state tea. no cap, she's iconic. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, include her and typedef her:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK_STATE ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK_STATE;

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK_STATE is a structure that holds a “snapshot” of a joystick’s axes and buttons at a particular instant. it's giving freeze-frame but for controller vibes. 📸🦋

all fields are public and read-only — periodt, look but don't touch, she's not editable. 🙈

struct {
   float axis[num_axes];             // -1.0 to 1.0
} stick[num_sticks];
int button[num_buttons];             // 0 to 32767

so you've got stick[num_sticks], and inside each one axis[num_axes] floats ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, plus button[num_buttons] ints ranging from 0 to 32767. the way that's literally the whole struct layout, no cap. 🎀
