🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef enum ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_STICK

literally just an enum, no cap. the whole thing is a list of names for the squishy bits you push around 🕹️

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the roster of sticks, and the way that each one maps to axes and flags is important, so pay attention bestie:

  • ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_STICK_DPAD — the D-pad stick 🎯 it's got the ALLEGRO_JOYFLAG_DIGITAL set on it, and it rocks two axes. yeah, it's technically called a "stick" here, don't fight it.
  • ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_STICK_LEFT_THUMB — left thumb stick 👍 the one your left thumb lives on. two axes.
  • ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_STICK_RIGHT_THUMB — right thumb stick 👉 the one your right thumb lives on. two axes as well.
