al_get_mouse_state_axis(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_mouse_state_axis — the Allegro 5 API bestie that reads one little number out of your saved mouse state 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_mouse_state_axis(const ALLEGRO_MOUSE_STATE *state, int axis)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: you already grabbed a snapshot of your mouse with al_get_mouse_state (or whatever), and now you're sitting there like... bestie, what is the actual value on one specific axis? 🦋

That's literally the whole job here. al_get_mouse_state_axis extracts the mouse axis value from the saved state. It reaches into the ALLEGRO_MOUSE_STATE you hand it, grabs the axis you asked for, and gives you back an int. no drama, no cap. 👑

Now, the axes? They're numbered from 0, and the order is non-negotiable:

1. x-axis — that's axis 0
2. y-axis — that's axis 1
3. z-axis — that's axis 2
4. w-axis — that's axis 3

so like, 0 = x, 1 = y, 2 = z, 3 = w. That's the vibe check. 💅

not me making you memorise that but fr fr, it's just 0, 1, 2, 3 in x, y, z, w order. iconic behaviour honestly. 🙈
