play_looped_midi(3)

📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to play_looped_midi(3) from the Allegro manual 💖 This function is play_looped_midi — and it starts playing a MIDI file with a user-defined loop position. It's part of the Allegro game programming library, periodt. 🎀

🎧 SYNOPSIS 🎧

#include <allegro.h>

int play_looped_midi(MIDI *midi, int loop_start, int loop_end);

🌀 DESCRIPTION 🌀

So like, this is the moment where you start playing a MIDI file but with your own custom loop position. Main character energy fr fr. 💅

When the player reaches the loop end position or the end of the file — and yes, loop_end may be -1 to only loop at EOF — it will wind back to the loop start point. It's giving rewind realness. 🔁

Both positions are specified in the same beat number format as the midi_pos variable. No cap, same format, same vibe. 🎵

🔁 RETURN VALUE 🔁

The return value has the same meaning as that of play_midi(): non-zero if an error occurs, zero otherwise. So if you get non-zero, something said "not today" 😭; zero means we ate and left no crumbs. 👑

Go peek at those when you're done, bestie. iykyk. 🦋
