💖 stop_midi — the "okay bestie, music off" function 💖

So like, this is a page from the Allegro manual (yes, the Allegro game programming library, the one from 3alleg4), and today we're talking about stop_midi. Buckle up, it's a short one but it ate. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

stop_midi — Stops whatever music is currently playing. Allegro game programming library. 🎵🚫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void stop_midi();

That's it. That's the whole signature. No arguments, no return value, just vibes. 🦋

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Okay so picture this: you've got music playing. MIDI music. It's going, it's doing its thing, it's the main character of your soundscape. And now you want it to stop. That's literally it. stop_midi stops whatever music is currently playing. Periodt. 🎀

And here's the tea — this function is the same thing as calling:

play_midi(NULL, FALSE)

Like, identical. Same energy. Not me finding out they're twins 😭💀

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

  • play_midi(3alleg4) — the one that actually starts the music (and the secret identity of this one 👀)
  • midi_pause(3alleg4) — for when you want it to take a lil nap instead of fully leaving 🌈
ngl bestie, if you ever forget what stop_midi does, just remember: it's play_midi(NULL, FALSE) in a cuter outfit. iykyk 💜

Okie that's the whole page!! This lil cutie comes to you from Allegro, version 4.4.3, and yes, the manual name up top is stop_midi(3alleg4) — that's the whole header, mwah. Stay slaying, go make some music play and then make it not play, you icon. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅
