GLUTENTERGAMEMODE(3)

✨ GLUTENTERGAMEMODE(3) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is from OpenGLUT and it lives in the gamemode section of the manual (yes, the library is literally OpenGLUT - gamemode, she's an icon) 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

glutEnterGameMode — enter game mode. that's it. that's the whole name. she enters. game mode. periodt. 👑

---

🦋 LIBRARY 🦋

OpenGLUT — gamemode, obviously 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <openglut.h>

int
glutEnterGameMode(void);

no args, no drama, just vibes and an int 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, any combination of the following may apply — not "one of", not "all of", any combination, she's keeping it mysterious 😭

• Resolution change, possibly to the requested resolution, possibly to a "nearest match". she might give you exactly what you asked for, or she might give you the closest thing she's got. lowkey relatable.
• Refresh frequency change. the hertz are gonna hertz differently, bestie.
• A window with a drawable area equal to the requested screen resolution will be opened. like, the window is the screen. main character energy fr fr 👑
• The mouse may be restricted to operate within your window. your cursor is staying home. grounded. no wandering off. 🙈

💀 CAVEATS 💀

ngl this one varies in behavior — she contains multitudes, she's unpredictable, she's not like other functions.

X users (as in X11, bestie, not the app 💀) can disable the resolution change by an OpenGLUT compile-time option. so if you're on X and you don't want the resolution touching, there's a build flag with your name on it.

---

🌈 TODO 🌈

• Documentation 💀💀💀

and like, the big one:

OpenGLUT may be unable to restore the original settings — this has been observed on WIN32. so she might change your resolution and then just… not put it back?? iconic behaviour, honestly, but also bestie please 😭 proceed with awareness.
