exgui(3)

🎀 exgui — the tea on the GUI routines 🎀

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Allegro manual (yes, that Allegro, the game programming library, she's iconic) and it's all about exgui. buckle up, it's short but it's cute 💖

✨ NAME ✨

exgui — using the GUI routines, Allegro game programming library style 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

Example exgui

like, that's the whole vibe. include the header, run the example, slay 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this program is literally a demo of how to use the GUI routines. no cap. 🌸

it starts you off with the simple dialog controls — the ones that just display a text or a bitmap — and then walks you all the way up to the more complex multiple choice selection lists. the way Allegro hands you a whole framework that you can customise to suit your needs? it's giving main character energy, fr fr 👑

lowkey that's it. it's a demo. go play with it. ✨
