💖 NAME 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_HAPTIC *al_get_haptic_from_mouse(ALLEGRO_MOUSE *dev)

okay so you're calling one function, you're passing one pointer, you're getting one pointer back. it's giving minimal. it's giving elegant. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie. you hand over a mouse — that's your ALLEGRO_MOUSE *dev — and:

• if that mouse has haptic capabilities, you get back the associated haptic device handle. slay. 🎉
• if it doesn't? you get NULL. no haptics for you. it's not personal, it's just hardware. 😭

that's it. that's the function. simple, iconic, does exactly one thing and does it well. main character energy fr fr.

🌈 SINCE 🌈

5.1.8 — she's been around a minute, she's established. 👑

[Unstable API] ⚠️ okay so listen, this one comes with a whole disclaimer, and we're keeping it: "Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users." translation: not every platform supports every feature that's exposed here, so the design might get simplified later, and the devs are waiting on user feedback before they commit. so if you're building on this, know it could shift under you. not a vibe, but forewarned is forearmed. 🫶

---

that's the whole page, bestie — go forth and haptically vibe-check your mouse. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅

signing off with love from the Allegro reference manual, page al_get_haptic_from_mouse(3alleg5), documenting version 5.1.8 of the Allegro 5 API. mwah. 💜
