✨ ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_BUTTON ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API 💖 — this is the page for ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_BUTTON, aka the little enum that names every single button on a gamepad so you don't have to sit there guessing what number "the squishy one on the left" is. it's giving button catalogue. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_BUTTON

like yes, that's it, that's the whole entrance. no cap. ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

  • ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_START — the start button ▶️
  • ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_GUIDE — the guide / home button 🏠 (heads up: this one sometimes gets intercepted at the OS level, so do not rely on being able to handle it 😭 fr fr)

  • ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT_THUMB — the button that lives on the right thumb stick 👉
