💖 SDL_GetFloatProperty 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the SDL3 FUNCTIONS lineup and it's called SDL_GetFloatProperty(3). yes the (3) is the manual section, we love a library function moment. it's giving "grab a lil float out of a big ol' pile of properties" and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_GetFloatProperty — get a floating point property from a group of properties 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_properties.h>

float SDL_GetFloatProperty(SDL_PropertiesID props, const char *name, float default_value);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so you wanna pull a float out of a property group. say less, this does exactly that.

and listen — if you're sitting there like "wait, does this property even exist, and is it even a float??" 👀 you can use SDL_GetPropertyType() to query that. she'll tell you. no cap.

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

  • props — the properties you wanna query. this is the group chat you're scrolling through 💅
  • name — the name of the property you're looking for. gotta know who you're texting, bestie
  • default_value — the default value of the property. your fallback fit when the real one doesn't show up 🙈

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

returns the value of the property, or default_value if it is not set or not a float property. so either you get the real one or you get the backup. no in-between, no drama. periodt.

💜 THREAD SAFETY 💜

it is safe to call this function from any thread. literally any of them. go off, multithreaded queen 🌈

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function has been available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older... girl. upgrade 😭
