SDL_JoystickGetButton(3)

💖 SDL_JoystickGetButton 💖

okay bestie, quick lil intro before we get into it: this page lives in the SDL API Reference manual, and it's about checking whether a button on a joystick is, like, being pressed right now. that's the whole vibe. 🎮✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_JoystickGetButton — get the current state of a given button on a given joystick 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "SDL.h"

Uint8 SDL_JoystickGetButton(SDL_Joystick *joystick, int button);

like yes, that's the whole thing, she's short and she knows it 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so SDL_JoystickGetButton returns the current state of the given button on the given joystick.

that's it. that's the function. no cap. you hand her a joystick and a button, she tells you what's up with that button at this exact moment. iconic behaviour honestly 👑

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

• 1 if the button is pressed 💖
• otherwise, 0 😭

literally a binary moment. pressed or not pressed, no in-between, no "kinda", no "it depends". slay.

💜 SEE ALSO 💜
