al_get_new_window_position(3alleg5)

💖 NAME 💖

ok so bestie, this is al_get_new_window_position — the Allegro 5 API function that tells you where your new windows are gonna pop up 👀✨ (part of the Allegro 5 API, iykyk)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_get_new_window_position(int *x, int *y)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen 🫶 — this one gets the position where new non-fullscreen displays created by the calling thread are gonna be placed. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

like, it's the lil peek behind the curtain that tells you where stuff's gonna land before it lands. not fullscreen, obviously — fullscreen is giving "i take over the whole screen, no thoughts" 😌 — this is about the windowed girlies 💖

you hand it two pointers, *x and *y, and it fills in the position for you. no cap, no drama, just coordinates ✨

not me gently reminding you that it's per-thread, bestie 🧚 — it's the position for displays created by the calling thread, not everybody's. okay periodt 💜
