ALLEGRO_HAPTIC(3alleg5)

💖 ALLEGRO_HAPTIC 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ALLEGRO_HAPTIC page of the Allegro 5 manual — yes, the whole manual, and yes, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ALLEGRO_HAPTIC — the Allegro 5 API girlies' very own haptic device type 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_HAPTIC ALLEGRO_HAPTIC;

so that's the vibe: one include, one typedef, and you're in 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: ALLEGRO_HAPTIC is an abstract data type — like, it's not the thing itself, it's the idea of the thing — and that thing is a haptic device 🌸

and what does a haptic device do?? it goes brrrrr. literally. it's the kind of hardware that supports force feedback or vibration — so like, your controller rumbles when you crash a car, that kind of energy 🔥

that's it. that's the whole data type. it represents that. iconic, honestly 👑

✨ SINCE ✨

5.1.8 — she's been here since 5.1.8, respect the elders 🧚

[Unstable API] — not me having to say this but: "Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users." so basically, the API might get simplified later bc not every platform supports every single feature it exposes, and the devs are literally waiting on feedback from users. if you're a user, bestie, that's your cue 👀 ngl, that means things could change on you, so don't go building your whole personality on it.
