🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: generally this macro isn't used directly, bestie. you don't just raw-dog SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED_MASK into your code like it's nothing.

instead, it gets used through SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED or SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED_DISPLAY. that's the whole point of it — it's the magic sauce hiding behind the scenes so those two can do their little centering thing. main character energy from a background character, we love to see it. ✨

lowkey important: this is a "behind the curtain" value, not a "type it yourself" value. respect the lore. 🙈

---

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

this macro is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, sorry babe, it's not gonna show up for you. 😭
