💖 al_get_mouse_event_source — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro reference manual (yes, the 3alleg5 one, we're fancy here) and today we're learning about the single most important function if you want to know where the mouse is at. literally. 🐭✨

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_mouse_event_source — Allegro 5 API 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE *al_get_mouse_event_source(void)

no args, no drama, just vibes 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, this function retrieves the mouse event source. that's it, that's the whole job. 💖

and the way that ALL the [mouse events]ALLEGRO_EVENT_MOUSE_AXES(3alleg5) get generated by this one event source?? iconic. every single one. she's the main character and the whole cast, fr fr. 👑

🚨 but listen — it returns NULL if the mouse subsystem was not installed. so if you get nothing back, that's not a vibe check failure, that's literally the mouse subsystem not being there. no cap. 💀

that's the whole page, bestie — short and slay. this lil gem lives in the Allegro reference manual (al_get_mouse_event_source(3alleg5)), so go forth and go get that event source. mwah 💋✨
