✨ NAME ✨

al_is_haptic_active — like, is your haptic device awake or not, Allegro 5 API style 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_is_haptic_active(ALLEGRO_HAPTIC *hap)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically this function is the vibe check for your haptic device 👑 it returns true if the haptic device can currently be used, and false if it can't. that's it. that's the whole thing. no cap. 💅

like... it literally just tells you whether it's usable right now, not whether it will be later. it's giving "are we good or are we not" energy ✨

---

✨ SINCE ✨

this one's been around since 5.1.8 🎀

[Unstable API] 🚨 — okay so heads up, bestie: this API is marked unstable. the note says it perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms, and it's awaiting feedback from users. so like, it works, but it's not locked in yet. don't build your whole personality on it 💀

and that's the whole page, fr fr 🌈 shoutout to the Allegro reference manual for publishing it — al_is_haptic_active(3alleg5), version 5.1.8, mwah 💋 slay, go check your haptics ✨🦋
