al_hide_mouse_cursor(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to al_hide_mouse_cursor(3) from the Library Functions Manual — it’s the Allegro 5 API page for making that mouse cursor vanish. Poof. Gone. Iconic 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_hide_mouse_cursor(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, al_hide_mouse_cursor hides the mouse cursor in the given display, bestie. That’s the whole assignment ✨

This has no effect on what the current mouse cursor looks like — it just makes it disappear. No visual redesign, no cursor glow-up, just gone 💀

It returns true on success (or if the cursor already was hidden), and false otherwise. Periodt 💖

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• al_show_mouse_cursor(3) — for when you need the cursor to come back and be main character again 🫶

XOXO, signing off from the Allegro reference manual — the footer didn’t hand me an extra date or version, so that’s the whole cute credit, bestie 😭💜
