💖 SDL_WarpMouse — from the SDL API Reference (section 3, bestie) 💖

okay so picture this: you're deep in your SDL era, and you need the mouse cursor to just be somewhere else. Not glide there. Not vibe there. Be there. That's literally this function. No cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_WarpMouse — set the position of the mouse cursor. that's it. that's the whole job. she teleports, she doesn't walk. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include "SDL.h"

void SDL_WarpMouse(Uint16 x, Uint16 y);

like. two numbers. that's all she needs from you. 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

SDL_WarpMouse</purl> sets the position of the mouse cursor. and because nothing in SDL happens quietly, bestie, it generates a mouse motion event when it does. so if you've got an event loop watching for mouse movement, she will notice. main character energy fr fr. 🔥

so like, don't be surprised when your motion handler fires after you warp. that's not a bug, that's just her being her. ✨
