💖 SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STADIA 💖

okay bestie so you know how we're all out here living in the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual? yeah. this is one of those pages. it's short, it's sweet, it's a whole vibe, and it's literally about one single thing. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STADIA — a variable that controls whether the HIDAPI driver for Google Stadia controllers should be used 🎮

like. that's the whole job. that's what she does. iconic behaviour honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STADIA "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STADIA"

so you pull in the header, and the macro is the string. the macro name and the string are both SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STADIA — yes, exactly the same, no the SDL_HINT_ prefix is not in the string, don't come for me, that's just how it is 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the variable can be set to the following values, bestie, and there are literally only two:

  • "0" — the HIDAPI driver is not used. nope. not today. 🙈
  • "1" — the HIDAPI driver is used. slay. let her cook. 🔥

and the default? the default is the value of SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI. so if you don't set this one, she just inherits from her mother hint. generational. 💅

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

this hint has been available since SDL 3.2.0 ⭐

so if you're on something older, sorry babe, she's not there yet 😭

no cap: keep the strings as "0" and "1" — quotes included, because they're strings, not numbers. don't try to be clever. ✨

and that's the whole page!! short king energy. now go forth and Stadia 🦋

this lil gem comes to you from the Simple Directmedia Layer crew, living in SDL 3.4.18 — mwah, thanks for reading, ily, see u in the next manpage 💜🌸🎀
