💅 NAME 💅

al_get_opengl_variant — Allegro 5 API ✨ — coming at you straight from the Library Functions Manual, bestie 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_opengl.h>

int al_get_opengl_variant(void)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so bestie, this function returns the variant or type of OpenGL used on the running platform. No cap. 🖥️✨

And the iconic part? It can be called before creating a display or setting properties for new displays. So yes, you can vibe-check your OpenGL situation early. 💅

Possible values are:

• ALLEGRO_DESKTOP_OPENGL — regular OpenGL as seen on desktop/laptop computers. 🖥️🌸
• ALLEGRO_OPENGL_ES — trimmed down version of OpenGL used on many small consumer electronic devices such as handheld (and sometimes full size) consoles. 🎮💖
