β¨ NAME β¨
al_get_mixer_playing β the little function that tells you if a mixer is doing its thing. Allegro 5 API, periodt. π
π SYNOPSIS π
#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>
bool al_get_mixer_playing(const ALLEGRO_MIXER *mixer)
so you gotta pull in allegro_audio.h first, no cap β that's where all the audio girlies live π§β¨
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so literally all this does: it returns true if the mixer is playing. that's it. that's the whole function. π«Ά
like, you hand it a const ALLEGRO_MIXER *mixer, and it tells you whether that mixer is currently playing. true = yes bestie she's playing π₯, and if she's not playing, you're not getting a true. it's giving "simple, iconic, does exactly one job and does it well."
ngl the whole function is one (1) sentence of behaviour and i respect that so much. main character energy with zero filler π
