bool SDL_GetHintBoolean(const char *name, bool default_value);

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

  • name — the name of the hint you wanna get the boolean value from. like, which hint are we asking about, girl. 👑
  • default_value — the value to return if the hint does not exist. your lil safety net for when the hint ghosts you. 🫶
