broadcast_dialog_message(3)

✨ broadcast_dialog_message ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro manual (yes, that Allegro — the game programming library, the blueprint of legends 🎮✨), and it's giving group-chat energy for your dialog boxes. one function, two ints, and it yells at literally every widget at once. obsessed.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int broadcast_dialog_message(int msg, int c);

like, two lines of code and you're already the main character 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: broadcast_dialog_message takes a message and broadcasts it to all the objects in the active dialog. not one. not a few. all of them. it's the "hey besties 📣" of dialog handling — every object in the dialog hears about it.

and here's the part that actually matters, so listen up 👂: if any of the dialog procedures return values other than D_O_K, then this function returns that value. so it's not just shouting into the void — it's checking the receipts, and if somebody in the group chat says something that isn't D_O_K, that's the answer you get back. periodt.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• dialog_message(3) — the one-on-one convo version, if you'd rather DM than group chat 💌
• active_dialog(3) — the whole reason there's an "active dialog" to broadcast into in the first place 🌈

and that's the whole page, no cap 💖 this beauty ships with Allegro, version 4.4.3 — so shoutout to the Allegro girlies for keeping the source and version alive, mwah 🫶✨ 🎀
