gui_mouse_x(3alleg4)

💖 gui_mouse_x — the Allegro manual, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, welcome to gui_mouse_x(3alleg4) from the Allegro manual ✨ this is the Allegro game programming library, and we're talking about the little hook functions the GUI uses to peek at ur mouse 👀🖱️

🌸 NAME 🌸

gui_mouse_x, gui_mouse_y, gui_mouse_z, gui_mouse_b — these are the hook functions the GUI routines use to access the mouse state 🫶 part of the Allegro game programming library, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

extern int (*gui_mouse_x)();

extern int (*gui_mouse_y)();

extern int (*gui_mouse_z)();

extern int (*gui_mouse_b)();

like. four function pointers. living their best lives. iconic honestly 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie 🍓 these are hook functions, and the GUI routines call them every single time they need to know what the mouse is doing. they're literally the middlemen between the GUI and ur mouse state, and honestly? they ate 💅

By default, they're super chill and just return copies of the mouse_x, mouse_y, mouse_z, and mouse_b variables. that's it. that's the vibe. 🎀

BUT — and this is the main character part 👑 — you can swap them out to:

• offset the mouse position 💫
• scale the mouse position 💫
• or read input from a different source entirely 😭🔥

like yes, go off, take ur mouse data from somewhere else, we support that here 🫶✨

💜 that's it, that's the page 💜

no cap, this one's short and sweet and I'm obsessed with her for it 🎀

version 4.4.3 babes, that's the Allegro we're running on, and this lil page is filed under gui_mouse_x(3alleg4) 💖 mwah, go forth and hook ur mouse functions, bestie 💅✨🦋
