✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE *al_get_touch_input_mouse_emulation_event_source(void)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function returns the global touch input event source for emulated mouse events. This event source generates [emulated mouse events] — ALLEGRO_EVENT_MOUSE_AXES(3) — that are based on touch events. Like, touch events are the vibe, and the event source is giving mouse-emulation energy, iykyk 🫶

• al_register_event_source(3) — also right there in the SEE ALSO lineup ✨

5.1.0 — periodt. 💅

[Unstable API] — Seems of limited value, as touch input tends to have different semantics compared to mouse input. No cap, that’s the official note 😭💀
