al_get_touch_...n_event_source(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_touch_input_mouse_emulation_event_source — Allegro 5 API 💅 (yes bestie, it's in the Allegro 5 manual, we're being ✨official✨ today)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_EVENT_SOURCE *al_get_touch_input_mouse_emulation_event_source(void)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: touch screens, right? And mice? Two different little guys. Well, this function hands you back the global touch input event source — the one for emulated mouse events. 🐭

And what does that event source do, you ask? It generates [emulated mouse events]ALLEGRO_EVENT_MOUSE_AXES(3alleg5) — and those events are based on touch events. So the touches are out here cosplaying as mouse movements, no cap. 🎀

Heads up bestie: this is an [Unstable API] and it seems of limited value, as touch input tends to have different semantics compared to mouse input. Like… the Allegro docs themselves are side-eyeing it a lil bit. 💀 Not me calling out the API, but fr fr, touch and mouse are just built different.
