stop_sample(3alleg4)

💅 stop_sample — the manual page, bestie edition 💅

okay so you're reading the Allegro manual, and today's main character is stop_sample from stop_sample(3alleg4). it's giving "make it stop" energy and honestly? we love that for us. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

stop_sample — stops a sample from playing. it's part of the Allegro game programming library, no cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

void stop_sample(const SAMPLE *spl);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: stop_sample stops a sample from playing. and like, you literally have to do this if you set a sample going in looped mode — otherwise it's just gonna keep looping forever and ever and ever, which is lowkey a vibe killer. 😭

and the way that if there are several copies of the sample playing, it will stop all of them. every single one. all the copies. periodt. 👑

⚠️ but bestie, listen — you must still destroy the sample using destroy_sample(). stopping it is NOT the same as freeing it. don't be out here leaking memory, i'm begging. 💀
