al_set_timer_speed(3) 🎀

okay so bestie, this page lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it’s the Allegro 5 API page for al_set_timer_speed. Folding the manual name in right here so we don’t gotta copy the whole header line, periodt. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_timer_speed — Allegro 5 API

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_timer_speed(ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer, double new_speed_secs)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this function sets the timer’s speed — like, the rate at which its counter will be incremented when it is started. Slay. ✨

You can do this when the timer is started or stopped, no big deal. 🫶

If the timer is currently running, it is made to look as though the speed change occurred precisely at the last tick. The way that’s so specific, I love it. 😭

And speed_secs has exactly the same meaning as with al_create_timer(3). iykyk. 💜

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• al_get_timer_speed(3) — also on the menu, bestie 🦋

💖 cute little sign-off: this page is from the Allegro reference manual (that’s the source/version in the footer), and there’s no date printed on this page, so I’m not gonna invent one. Mwah. 💋🎀
