🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is image_loaded(3), straight from the Arcan Lua API (image manual), and it is literally the vibe check for an asynchronous video object source 💅.

image_loaded — asks how your async source is doing. Is it loaded? Is it still cooking? Bestie, we’re about to find out 👀✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

0 or 1
image_loaded( vid )

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So here’s the tea 🫖: with asynchronous image operations, a load can potentially stall for an infinite time 😭. Like, not even joking — it might just sit there forever. This function is your little status peek 👑.

It queries the status of that asynchronous load and gives you true (1) if the image has loaded and decoded successfully, or 0 if it’s still in the process of being loaded 🌸.

That’s it. That’s the whole mood. Return values are giving very much yes or not yet, babe 💖.

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

function image_loaded0()
      a = load_image_asynch("test.png", function(source, status)
            print(status.kind, image_loaded(source)); end);
      print(a, image_loaded(source));
end
