AL_GET_TOUCH_INPUT_STATE(3)

💅 al_get_touch_input_state(3) — Allegro 5 API touch-state moment ✨

Manual name: Library Functions Manual — folded in near the top, cute and accounted for. 🎀 This is the Allegro 5 API page for grabbing the current touch input state, and it’s lowkey a one-function wonder. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

• al_get_touch_input_state — Allegro 5 API. That’s the whole name, bestie; no cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Include this header:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

Then the function signature is exactly:

void al_get_touch_input_state(ALLEGRO_TOUCH_INPUT_STATE *ret_state)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so what does it do? It gets the current touch input state — literally the touch vibe check at this exact moment. 🫶

The touch information is copied into the ALLEGRO_TOUCH_INPUT_STATE(3) you provide to this function. You hand it ret_state (that ALLEGRO_TOUCH_INPUT_STATE * from the synopsis), and boom: the current touch info lands in the ALLEGRO_TOUCH_INPUT_STATE(3) you gave it. 💅

No cap: the copying destination is the ALLEGRO_TOUCH_INPUT_STATE(3) you pass in. That’s the whole flow. ✨

⭐ SINCE ⭐

Available since 5.1.0 — vintage Allegro 5 era, but make it iconic. 👑
