JOYSTICK_STICK_INFO(3)

✨ JOYSTICK_STICK_INFO ✨

bestie it's literally the JOYSTICK_STICK_INFO page from the Allegro manual, and it's here to spill the tea on how joystick sticks store their whole vibe 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

JOYSTICK_STICK_INFO — stores joystick stick information, and it's part of the Allegro game programming library 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

typedef struct JOYSTICK_STICK_INFO

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this is the struct that holds everything about one lil stick, and here's every single field, no cap:

int flags;                       - status flags for this
                                   input
int num_axis;                    - how many axes do we
                                   have? (note the misspelling)
JOYSTICK_AXIS_INFO axis[n];      - axis state information
char *name;                      - description of this
                                   input

so real quick:

• int flags; — the status flags for this input, lowkey doing the most behind the scenes 👑
• int num_axis; — how many axes do we have?? (and yes, note the misspelling, that's canon, don't come for me 🙈)
• JOYSTICK_AXIS_INFO axis[n]; — the axis state information, aka where the actual movement lives 🌈
• char *name; — a description of this input, so it can tell you who it is 🫶

if you wanna know how to actually obtain and use this structure, go read the chapter "Joystick routines" — that's where the lore is 📖✨
