S3DW_ANI_MATE(3)

💖 S3DW_ANI_MATE 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the s3d Manual, section 3 — and it's about s3dw_ani_mate, the lil function that does the whole animation thing. yes, that's literally what the NAME says. we love a self-aware icon.

✨ NAME ✨

s3dw_ani_mate — doing the whole animation thing 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <s3dw.h>

void s3dw_ani_mate(void);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea: just call this bad boy in your mainloop if you want some nice window sliding animations. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

it's somewhat bloating, ngl — but you don't want to miss it ;) fr fr, it's giving "worth it".

here's how it looks in the wild:

#include <time.h>   // nanosleep()
static struct timespec t={0.33*1000*1000}; // 33 mili seconds
void mainloop()
{
        // keep this in your mainloop. this will do smooth animations for you ...
        s3dw_ani_mate();
        nanosleep(&t,NULL);
}

....
s3d_mainloop(mainloop);

so yeah — you keep s3dw_ani_mate(); sitting right there in your mainloop, and it will do smooth animations for you. no cap. ✨ the nanosleep with that t is your lil 33 mili seconds breather so everything stays buttery instead of absolutely unhinged. 🧚

lowkey important: that static struct timespec t={0.33*1000*1000}; is the 33 mili seconds, and the nanosleep(&t,NULL); goes inside the mainloop. keep the whole vibe together or the smoothness simply does not happen. 🙈

and then you hand it off to s3d_mainloop(mainloop); and let it cook. 🔥
