okay so bestie, welcome to SDL_ShowWindow(3) from the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual. This function is literally SDL_ShowWindow — and it does exactly what it says on the tin: show a window. No cap. It's giving "make the window appear" and honestly? Iconic. 💅🪟✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_video.h>

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

🔒 THREAD SAFETY 🔒

This function should only be called on the main thread. Like, main thread only, fr fr — don't be sneaking it in from a side thread. 🧵🙅‍♀️
