💖 exsyscur — hardware accelerated mouse cursors, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from the Allegro manual, section 3alleg4 — it's the exsyscur example, part of the Allegro game programming library. it's giving "tiny page, big cursor energy" and honestly? obsessed. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

Example exsyscur

like. that's the whole thing. it's an example, not a function you call. she's a demo, she's a vibe, she's here to show you the goods. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does this program even do? bestie. it demonstrates the use of hardware accelerated mouse cursors. that's it, that's the tea. ☕✨

basically it's a whole little program showing off what happens when your mouse cursor gets to live its main character era with hardware acceleration instead of being software-drawn every frame. no cap.
