from the Library Functions Manual, bestie β€” we’re in the Allegro cinematic universe πŸ’…


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

  • al_set_video_playing β€” Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_video.h>

void al_set_video_playing(ALLEGRO_VIDEO *video, bool play)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so this is the pause/resume switch, no cap. It’s giving β€œhold up” and β€œokay go again” energy for your video playback.

The original line is literally: β€œPaused or resumes playback.” Yes, that grammar is a whole mood 😭 but the meaning is right there β€” it pauses or resumes playback. You pass in an ALLEGRO_VIDEO *video and a bool play, and that’s the vibe.

🌸 SINCE 🌸

5.1.12 β€” iconic since then, periodt 🫢


okay bye bestie πŸ’– this came from the Allegro reference manual, Allegro 5.1.12 era, and there’s no footer date printed on the page, so I’m not inventing one β€” al_set_video_playing(3) out πŸŽ€βœ¨
