💖 NAME 💖

al_get_time — Allegro 5 API 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

double al_get_time(void)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to al_get_time(3) from the Library Functions Manual 💅 this one is literally the “what time is it in Allegro land” function.

al_get_time returns the number of seconds since the Allegro library was initialised ✨ no args, just void, and it hands u back a double.

⚠️ if Allegro is uninitialised, the return value is undefined — not a vibe, not a mystery to solve, just don’t 😭

the resolution depends on the used driver, but typically can be in the order of microseconds 🔥
