gui_menu_draw_menu(3alleg4)

💖 NAME 💖

gui_menu_draw_menu, gui_menu_draw_menu_item — the lil hooks that let you glow up how menus look 👑 and yeah, it's part of the Allegro game programming library, so you already know it's iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

extern void (*gui_menu_draw_menu)(int x, int y, int w, int h);

extern void (*gui_menu_draw_menu_item)(MENU *m, int x, int y, int w,

int h, int bar, int sel);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, picture this: if you set these function pointers, Allegro will literally call them every single time a menu needs to be drawn. That's it, that's the whole vibe check — it means you get to change how menus look. full custom makeover, no cap. 💅

🎀 gui_menu_draw_menu()

Allegro hands it the position and size of the menu, like x, y, w, h. Your job? Draw the background of the menu onto the screen. That's your canvas, bestie, go off. ✨

🦋 gui_menu_draw_menu_item()

This one gets called once for each menu item that is to be drawn. bar will be set if the item is part of a top-level horizontal menu bar, and sel will be set if the menu item is selected 👀. And yeah — it should also draw onto screen. Same energy, one item at a time, item by item, periodt. 🫶

ngl these are function pointers, so if you never set them, nothing happens. They're opt-in, like a group chat invite. 🥰
