al_hide_mouse_cursor(3alleg5)

✨ al_hide_mouse_cursor ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro 5 API manual — like, al_hide_mouse_cursor(3alleg5), that's the whole vibe. it's a lil function that makes your mouse cursor poof gone 💨 and honestly? iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_hide_mouse_cursor(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so what it does is hide the mouse cursor in the given display. that's it, that's the whole job. 💅

and like — important detail, no cap — it has no effect on what the current mouse cursor looks like. it doesn't change your cute lil arrow into a hand or a crosshair or whatever. it literally just makes it disappear. gone. not me making the cursor vanish into the void 🫶

it returns true on success — or if the cursor already was hidden, so if it was already invisible you still get a true and that's valid — and false otherwise. 😭
