πŸ’– ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Allegro reference manual (the 3alleg5 one, you know the vibe) and we're talking about ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID. buckle up, it's short but it's iconic πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID β€” Allegro 5 API, that's the whole name, no notes πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

typedef struct ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID;

look at her, so clean, so minimal, lowkey obsessed 🌸


πŸ’« DESCRIPTION πŸ’«

so basically this struct is your little handle β€” your lil grip, your controller β€” for controlling playback of a haptic effect. that's the job. that's the whole job. πŸ“³βœ¨

but here's the thing bestie: you're supposed to treat it as opaque. like, yes you can see inside, but do not. it's giving "look but don't touch" energy.

the reason its implementation is even visible at all is merely to allow allocation by the users of the Allegro library β€” that's it, that's the only reason, no cap. it's not an invitation to go poking around in there 🫣

so: allocate it, hold it, pass it around like the icon it is β€” but don't go rummaging through its internals. that's not your main character moment πŸ’€

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.8 β€” she's been here since 5.1.8, a real one 🫢


πŸ”₯ UNSTABLE API πŸ”₯

okay so real talk, this one comes with a lil warning label:

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

translation? the API might get simplified later because not every platform supports every single feature that's exposed here, and the devs are literally waiting on feedback from users like you. so if you have thoughts β€” speak up, they're listening πŸ‘‘πŸŒ·


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

no SEE ALSO section here bestie, this page keeps it short and sweet, periodt πŸ’œ


mwah that's the whole page! stay hydrated, keep your structs opaque, and remember: this was brought to you by the Allegro reference manual, ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID(3alleg5), 3alleg5 edition. bye babes πŸŽ€βœ¨πŸ¦‹
