✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is al_set_app_name(3), straight outta the Library Functions Manual, and it’s the Allegro 5 API page for al_set_app_name πŸ’…βœ¨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_app_name(const char *app_name)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So al_set_app_name sets the global application name. That’s the assignment, bestie β€” main character name-tag energy πŸ‘‘πŸ’–

And it actually matters, because the application name is used by al_get_standard_path(3) to build the full path to an application’s files. iykyk β€” this little name is doing real work behind the scenes πŸŽ€βœ¨

Good news: this function may be called before al_init(3) or before al_install_system(3). No cap, it’s allowed that early 🫢πŸ”₯
