💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this function returns the Direct3D device of the display. The way it just scoops it up and hands it to you is iconic, honestly 🫶

⚠️ but listen: the return value is undefined if the display was not created with the Direct3D flag. Not "probably fine", not "close enough" — undefined. Do not test it, bestie 😭🙈

Returns: a pointer to the Direct3D device. Slay 💖

okay that's the whole page! source/version: the Allegro reference manual; date: not listed on this page. catch you later, bestie — al_get_d3d_device(3) out 🫶💅
