al_get_d3d_device(3alleg5)

✨ al_get_d3d_device — Allegro 5 API ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the Allegro reference manual (section 3alleg5, iykyk) and it's all about grabbing the Direct3D device off a display 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_direct3d.h>

LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 al_get_d3d_device(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like. This one gives you back the Direct3D device that belongs to the display 🦋. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "here's your D3D device, go off king".

MAJOR heads up though: the return value is undefined if the display was not created with the Direct3D flag 😭 like not "it returns NULL", not "it errors out nicely" — undefined. So fr fr, don't call this on a display that wasn't born with that flag unless you're in the mood for chaos 💀

Returns: A pointer to the Direct3D device ✨

lowkey the shortest lil baddie of a function and it still manages to have a landmine in it, iconic honestly 👑
