🌸 NAME 🌸

al_build_menu — that's the Allegro 5 API, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

ALLEGRO_MENU *al_build_menu(ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO *info)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so basically? it builds a menu based on the specifications of a sequence of ALLEGRO_MENU_INFO elements. you hand it a whole lil lineup of those bad boys and it does the whole construction thing for you. it's giving effortless, honestly.

and it returns a pointer to the root ALLEGRO_MENU, or NULL on failure 😭 — so like, always vibe check that return value, fr fr.

but here's the tea: to gain access to the other menus and items, you will need to search for them using al_find_menu_item(3alleg5). the root is just the front door, babes — everything else is tucked inside and you gotta go find it. iykyk 👑
