like, that's the whole signature. simple. iconic. 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so here's the tea ☕ — all text created by this engine should be destroyed before calling this function. that's it, that's the rule. clean up your text first, then yeet the engine. not the other way around, bestie, please 🙈

🫶 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🫶

  • engine — a TTF_TextEngine object created with TTF_CreateRendererTextEngine(). yes, that one. the one you made earlier. you can't just roll up with some random pointer, okay? 😭

🧵 THREAD SAFETY 🧵

this function should be called on the thread that created the engine. same thread, same energy, no crossing streams. periodt. 👑
