🌸 NAME 🌸

al_acknowledge_drawing_halt — Allegro 5 API 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_acknowledge_drawing_halt(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Call this in response to the ALLEGRO_EVENT_DISPLAY_HALT_DRAWING(3alleg5) event. that's the whole assignment, bestie. 💖

ngl, this is currently necessary for Android and iOS, because you are not allowed to draw to your display while it is not being shown. the way that mobile OSes will just vibe check your rendering calls... 😭

If you do not call this function to let the operating system know that you have stopped drawing, or if you call it to late, the application likely will be considered misbehaving and get terminated. 💀 so yeah, lowkey important. do not skip the acknowledge. periodt.

🦋 SINCE 🦋

5.1.0 ⭐
