✨ NAME ✨

al_install_mouse β€” the Allegro 5 API function that wakes up your mouse πŸ’– (this is from the Allegro reference manual, section 3alleg5, iykyk)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_install_mouse(void)

Like, that's it. No args, no drama. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Bestie. Listen. This one installs a mouse driver. That's the whole assignment. 🐭✨

It returns true if it worked, and honestly we love a function that tells you how it's feeling.

And here's the cute part β€” if a driver was already installed, nothing happens. Not a single thing. No double-install chaos, no error, no side-eye. It just quietly returns true and lets you live your life. πŸ’…

No cap: the "already installed" case returns true, not an error. So you're always getting a truthy answer when things are fine, whether you just installed it or it was already vibing there. 🫢

k bye, go make your cursor move, main character energy only πŸ‘‘

β€” with love from the <b>Allegro reference manual</b> (section 3alleg5) πŸ’œ
