💖 gui_mouse_focus(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual — specifically the page for gui_mouse_focus, from the Allegro game programming library. yes it's a whole variable. yes it's iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gui_mouse_focus — tells if the input focus follows the mouse pointer. part of the Allegro game programming library, no cap 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

extern int gui_mouse_focus;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — if this bad boy is set, the input focus literally follows the mouse pointer around the dialog. the focus is giving main character energy and just goes wherever your cursor goes. 💅

but if it's not set? then nah, the focus stays put and a click is required to move it. so you actually have to commit with a click instead of just hovering around being mysterious. periodt.

🌈 a lil sign-off 🌈

this page is brought to you by Allegro, version 4.4.3 — mwah, thanks for reading, go make something cute with your dialogs, ily, bye 💜✨
