active_menu(3alleg4)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the active_menu(3alleg4) page from the Allegro manual 💖. active_menu is a global pointer to the most recent activated menu — and yes, it's part of the Allegro game programming library, so it's giving very much "I know where you came from" energy 🌸.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

extern MENU *active_menu;

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

When a menu callback procedure is triggered, this will be set to the menu item that was selected, so your routine can determine where it was called from ✨.

That's literally it, no cap. Your callback gets called, active_menu points at the menu item that was selected, and your routine can figure out where it was called from 🎀. It's the main character of "who summoned me?" and honestly? Iconic.
