SDL_HINT_JOY...S5_PLAYER_LED(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, listen up 💖 — this is SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS5_PLAYER_LED, a hint variable that controls whether the player LEDs on a PS5 controller light up to show which player is associated with that controller. Like, it's giving "who's player one?" but make it ✨glow✨.

It lives in the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual, so jot that down 📝.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS5_PLAYER_LED "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS5_PLAYER_LED"

No cap, that's the whole vibe check. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the variable can be set to these values, and yes, there are literally two of them:

• "0" — player LEDs are not enabled. 🙈 no little lights for you, bestie.
• "1" — player LEDs are enabled. 🔥 and this one is the default, so it's the main character unless you say otherwise.

That's it. That's the whole tea. 🍓
