load_joystick_data(3)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual 💖 today’s main character is load_joystick_data(3), and she is literally here to load your joystick calibration data. No cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

load_joystick_data — Loads joystick calibration data. Allegro game programming library.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

int load_joystick_data(const char *filename);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this function restores calibration data that was previously stored by save_joystick_data() or the setup utility. It sets up all aspects of the joystick code: you don’t even need to call install_joystick() if you are using this function. And if you pass a NULL filename? Then it reads the data from the currently selected configuration file. Slay.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns zero on success. If it fails, the joystick state is undefined and you must reinitialise it from scratch. So like, no half-vibes, bestie — reset the whole thing.
