💖 al_get_new_display_adapter — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API manual, page al_get_new_display_adapter(3alleg5) ✨ this one is short and sweet, like a little snack, but it's important so pay attention 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_new_display_adapter — the Allegro 5 API girlie who tells you which video adapter your next display is gonna live on 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_new_display_adapter(void)

no args, no drama, just vibes 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea ☕ — this function gets the video adapter index where new displays are gonna be created by the calling thread 🌈

but hold up, there's a condition, and it's giving if and only if: this only reflects a value that was previously set with al_set_new_display_adapter(3alleg5) 👑

otherwise? it just returns ALLEGRO_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_ADAPTER, the default, the baseline, the no-notes era 🙈

so basically:

• set it with al_set_new_display_adapter(3alleg5) → you get your value back, slay ✨
• never set it → ALLEGRO_DEFAULT_DISPLAY_ADAPTER, periodt 💅

lowkey important: it's per-thread energy — "the calling thread" is doing the creating here, iykyk 🧵
