💖 NAME 💖

SDL_GetAppState — bestie, this is literally the function that tells you what state your app is in 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "SDL.h"

Uint8 SDL_GetAppState(void);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so SDL_GetAppState hands you back the current state of your application, no cap. and here's the tea — the value it returns is a bitwise combination of these three icons 💅:

  • SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS — the application has mouse focus 🖱️✨
  • SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS — the application has keyboard focus ⌨️💖
  • SDL_APPACTIVE — the application is visible 👀🌸

so like, they can stack, they can overlap, it's giving layered. check which bits are set and you know exactly what your app is going through 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
