ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS(3alleg5)

✨ ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro reference manual (that's the 3alleg5 corner of the internet, iykyk) 💖 this one's all about the haptic constants enum and honestly? it's giving "vibration lore" and i'm obsessed 🦋

🎀 NAME 🎀

ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS — the Allegro 5 API's lil collection of haptic flags, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

enum ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, this enum is where all the flags live that define haptic effects and capabilities 🫶 if a flag is set in whatever al_get_haptic_capabilities(3alleg5) hands back to you, that means the device supports that effect fr fr. and when you wanna actually play something? you set these flag values into an ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT(3alleg5) struct so it knows what kind of haptic effect to go off with 🔥

here's the full roster, every single one, no skipping, periodt 👑

• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_RUMBLE — the simple vibration effects, the classic lil buzz 💫
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_PERIODIC — periodic, wave-form effects, like a heartbeat but for your controller 🌊
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANT — constant effects, just steady vibes the whole time 😌
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SPRING — spring effects, boing boing 🌀
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_FRICTION — friction effects, that drag-y feeling 🧚
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_DAMPER — damper effects, lowkey the opposite of a spring 🍓
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_INERTIA — inertia effects, momentum core 🌈
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_RAMP — ramp effects, it ramps, it's in the name 💜
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SQUARE — square wave periodic effect, all sharp corners ⬜
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_TRIANGLE — triangle wave periodic effect, pointy but make it smooth 🔺
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SINE — sine wave periodic effect, the icon, the moment 〰️
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SAW_UP — upwards saw wave periodic effect, going up bestie 📈
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_SAW_DOWN — downwards saw wave periodic effect, and now we descend 📉
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CUSTOM — custom wave periodic effect, build-a-bear but for waveforms 🧸
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_GAIN — the haptic device supports gain setting 🔊
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_ANGLE — the haptic device supports angle coordinates 📐
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_RADIUS — the haptic device supports radius coordinates 🎯
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_AZIMUTH — the haptic device supports azimuth coordinates 🧭
• ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_AUTOCENTER — (yes it's just listed like this, that's the whole entry, we love a mysterious queen) 💀

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.8

🚨 [Unstable API]: Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users. 🚨

like, it's not fully cooked yet bestie, the platforms don't all agree on what they support, and the devs are waiting on y'all to tell them how it goes 🙈
