AL_SET_JOYSTICK_MAPPINGS(3)

💖 NAME 💖

al_set_joystick_mappings - Allegro 5 API ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to al_set_joystick_mappings(3) from the Library Functions Manual — a.k.a. the Allegro reference manual, iykyk. This page is literally about loading joystick mappings from a file, and it's giving main character energy. 🎮💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_set_joystick_mappings(const char *filename)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this function sets the joystick mappings from a file. That's the whole move. 💫

You can call it multiple times, bestie — each call adds to and overrides existing mappings. No cap. 🔥

It uses the SDL version 2.0.16 format mappings, so keep that exact format in mind. Not me being specific or anything. 👑

This can and typically should be called before calling al_install_joystick. Like, do the mapping setup first, then install. Periodt. 🫶

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.2.11 — iconic, slightly vintage, still serving. 💜

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• al_set_joystick_mappings_f(3)

Heads up, bestie: [Unstable API]: New API. It's giving fresh-off-the-press energy, so treat it accordingly. 😭

Cute lil' sign-off: source/version is the Allegro reference manual, page is al_set_joystick_mappings(3), and the original footer didn't give us a date — so no invented numbers, just vibes and a final 💋. Bye bestie! 🌈
