💖 exjoy — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is exjoy, and it lives in section 3alleg4 of the Allegro manual — aka the Allegro game programming library's little demo corner. she's here to teach you about joysticks and she's genuinely so good at it, no cap. 🎮✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

Example exjoy

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. include the header, run the example. slay. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea, bestie: this program uses the Allegro library to detect and read the value of a joystick. that's the whole mission. 💅

when you run it, the output is a tiny little target sight on the screen — and you can move it around. iconic behavior, honestly. 🎯

and the way it doesn't stop there?? at the same time, the program will tell you what you are doing with the joystick — whether you're moving it or firing it. it's literally narrating your gameplay back to you and I'm obsessed. 🔥

no guessing, no mystery, just a cute little sight and a running commentary. periodt. 💜
