okay bestie, this page lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it's the Allegro 5 API entry for al_set_mouse_cursor ✨ it's giving "put this cursor on that display" energy 💅

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_set_mouse_cursor(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, ALLEGRO_MOUSE_CURSOR *cursor)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So what it does: it sets the given mouse cursor to be the current mouse cursor for the given display. That's the whole main character move 💖 display is the display, cursor is the cursor.

If the cursor is currently shown (as opposed to hidden), the change is immediately visible. So like, no waiting around — if it's visible, it updates right then 👀✨
