digi_recorder(3alleg4)

💖 digi_recorder — the Allegro manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the digi_recorder page from the Allegro manual ✨ this one is short but she is IMPORTANT, so let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

digi_recorder — the hook that pings you the second a new sample buffer shows up 👀 Allegro game programming library energy, fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

extern void (*digi_recorder)();

that's it. that's the whole vibe check 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. If you set this function, the input driver is gonna call it whenever a new sample buffer becomes available 🎀 and the moment that happens, you can hit up read_sound_input() to copy that data somewhere more permanent — like actually save it before it evaporates, iykyk 💀

⚠️ but babes, real talk: this thing runs in an interrupt context. So it has to execute very quickly, like blink-and-you-miss-it fast 😭 the code and all memory that it touches must be locked, and you cannot call any operating system routines or access disk files. no cap, none. zero. zip. nada. 🙈

and the biggest plot twist of all: this currently works only under DOS 🫠 iconic retro behavior honestly.
