exgui(3alleg4)

💖 NAME 💖

exgui — bestie, this is the whole vibe of using the GUI routines. It's part of the Allegro game programming library, and it's literally gonna show you how to make dialogs pop off. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

Example exgui

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so listen. This program is a whole demonstration of how to use the GUI routines, and it's giving tutorial energy in the best way. 🌸

From the simple dialog controls that just display a text or a bitmap — like, baby steps, we love her — all the way up to the more complex multiple choice selection lists?? Allegro provides a framework which can be customised to suit your needs. Periodt. 💅

Not me being obsessed with how a whole GUI framework can just… be yours to shape. Iconic behaviour fr fr. 👑
