🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_mouse_cursor_position — Allegro 5 API

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_get_mouse_cursor_position(int *ret_x, int *ret_y)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay bestie, so on platforms where this info is actually available, al_get_mouse_cursor_position returns the global location of the mouse cursor, relative to the desktop. Iconic, but also very specific. 🖱️✨

bestie, listen: you should not normally use this function. The info isn't useful except for special scenarios, like moving a window. It's giving "niche main character energy" — powerful, but only for that one situation. 💀

It returns true on success and false on failure. Simple as that. 🎀

that's the whole page, bestie 💜 — footer vibes: source/version is the Allegro reference manual, and no date is printed here. bye, ily, go move a window or something 🫶✨
