💖 SDL_GamepadSensorEnabled(3) 💖

okay bestie so this one lives in the SDL3 FUNCTIONS section of the manual, and it's genuinely one of the chillest little calls in the whole gamepad family. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GamepadSensorEnabled — the way you ask a gamepad "hey girl, is your sensor data reporting turned on rn?" 🔍🎮

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_gamepad.h>

bool SDL_GamepadSensorEnabled(SDL_Gamepad *gamepad, SDL_SensorType type);

like, that's it. two args, one bool back. we love a low-effort icon. 💅

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

  • gamepad — the gamepad you're querying. the one you want to vibe-check. 🕹️
  • type — the type of sensor you're asking about. (SDL_SensorType, iykyk.)

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

returns true if the sensor is enabled, and false otherwise. that's the whole plot, bestie — a straight-up yes or no. ⭐

🌈 THREAD SAFETY 🌈

it is safe to call this function from any thread. periodt. go wild, main character. 🔥

💜 AVAILABILITY 💜

this function has been available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older... no sensor query for you, sorry babe 😭

ngl, this is the "are we there yet" of SDL calls. it doesn't change anything, it just tells you the truth about what's already going on. very demure, very mindful. ✨

and that's a wrap, babe! this page came to you from the fine folks at Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18, and it's filed under SDL_GamepadSensorEnabled(3) — mwah, go enable some sensors 💋🎀💖
