✨ NAME ✨

al_get_joystick_name — it's giving Allegro 5 API energy, bestie 💖

Like, this is a page straight outta the Allegro reference manual, so you already know it's the real deal. No cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so first things first, you gotta pull in the header, periodt:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

And then the actual function, look at her go 🎀:

const char *al_get_joystick_name(ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK *joy)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically? You hand her a joystick — like, an ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK * pointer, the whole vibe — and she hands you back the name of that joystick. That's it. That's the function. She's a const char *, she's lowkey iconic, she's not doing anything extra.

The way that this is literally just "give joystick, get name" and nothing else?? Main character energy fr fr 💅
