🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_haptic_from_joystick — Allegro 5 API 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_HAPTIC *al_get_haptic_from_joystick(ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK *dev)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

If the joystick has haptic capabilities, this returns the associated haptic device handle. Otherwise it returns NULL. no cap, that's the whole vibe check 💀

It’s necessary to call this again every time the joystick configuration changes, such as through hot plugging. In that case, the old haptic device must be released using al_release_haptic(3). yes bestie, that part is important — don't just leave the old one hanging 😭

🦋 SINCE 🦋

5.1.8 — iconic, honestly ✨

---

[Unstable API]: Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users.

like, it's giving "we're still cooking" energy, so keep that in mind 🍓
