✨ NAME ✨

play_looped_midi — starts playing a MIDI file with a user-defined loop position 💖

okay so this is the Allegro game programming library manual, section 3alleg4, and bestie we are about to make your MIDI loop exactly where you want it to. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int play_looped_midi(MIDI *midi, int loop_start, int loop_end);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Starts playing a MIDI file with a user-defined loop position. periodt.

So here's the vibe: when the player reaches the loop end position, or honestly just the end of the file, it winds all the way back to the loop start point. it's giving ✨seamless✨.

Heads up bestie: loop_end may be -1 to only loop at EOF 👑

Both positions are specified in the same beat number format as the midi_pos variable. iykyk — same units, same energy, no conversions needed 💅

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

The return value has the same meaning as that of play_midi(): non-zero if an error occurs, zero otherwise.

so like… 0 = slay, we're good 🫶, anything else = something went wrong 😭
