✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea 🍓: al_get_video_position returns the current position of the video stream, measured in seconds since the beginning. that's it. that's the whole function. she's simple, she's effective, she slays. 🔥

it hands you back a double, so you get that fractional-seconds realness — 12.5 is a perfectly valid answer, no rounding erasure here. 💜

and the which parameter? that's one of the ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_TYPE(3) constants — see that man page for the deets, iykyk. 🫶

ngl, don't just shove any random number in there — it's gotta be one of those ALLEGRO_VIDEO_POSITION_TYPE(3) constants. the manual said so, and the manual does not lie. 👑
