al_resume_timer(3alleg5)

💖 al_resume_timer — the Allegro 5 API page, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found the al_resume_timer(3alleg5) page, and honestly? this one's a short one but it's lowkey iconic. it lives in the Allegro 5 API and it does exactly one (1) thing, but it does it flawlessly. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

al_resume_timer — this is the Allegro 5 API function that un-pauses your timer. that's it. that's the whole job. slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_resume_timer(ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer)

so you pull in the header, hand it a pointer to an ALLEGRO_TIMER, and it returns nothing because it doesn't need to. it just does. main character energy fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Resume the timer you specified, bestie. 💅 From that exact moment on, the timer's counter will increment at a constant rate, and it will begin generating events. so basically: your timer woke up, put its fit on, and got back to work.

• Resuming a timer that is already started does absolutely nothing. no drama, no reset, no side quest. it's just a no-op.
• Resuming a stopped timer will not reset the timer's counter — and this is the important part, so listen up. this is not like al_start_timer(3alleg5), which does reset the counter. so if you wanted a fresh count, you're barking up the wrong function, babe. 🙈

lowkey crucial: al_resume_timer continues the count where it left off. al_start_timer restarts it. do not confuse them or your timing will be giving... chaos. 😭
