🎀 move_cursor(3) — Arcan Lua API 🎀

okay bestie, we're in the Arcan Lua API and this page is about move_cursor(3). It's giving “put the mouse cursor exactly where I say” energy. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

move_cursor — set an absolute position for the mouse cursor. 🖱️✨

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

The synopsis is literally these two lines, no cap:

nil
move_cursor( x, y, clamp )

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

move_cursor sets an absolute position for the mouse cursor. 🎯

Heads up, bestie: if clamp is set to a non-zero value (default, 0), x and y will NOT be clamped to fit the screen. 🫶

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

Here's the example exactly as the page gives it — copy/paste responsibly, iykyk:

       function move_cursor0()
             print(cursor_position());
             local img = fill_surface(32, 32, 255, 0, 0);
             move_cursor(img, VRESW * 0.5, VRESH * 0.5);
             print(cursor_position());
       end
