🌸 al_ungrab_mouse β€” bestie edition 🌸

okay so this is the al_ungrab_mouse(3) page, chilling in the Library Functions Manual and brought to you by the Allegro reference manual. yes bestie, we're talking about mouse grabbing β€” or more specifically, the un-grabbing. it's giving "release the cursor, periodt" πŸ’…βœ¨

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

al_ungrab_mouse β€” Allegro 5 API. that's the whole name, no cap.

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_ungrab_mouse(void)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so the vibe check here is simple: it stops confining the mouse cursor to any display belonging to the program. literally the un-clutch move for your cursor 🫢✨

Note: not yet implemented on Mac OS X. no cap, that's the caveat β€” Mac OS X is sitting this one out for now πŸ˜­πŸ’€
