✨ al_set_mouse_cursor ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API — this one's from the Allegro reference manual, and it's all about making your mouse cursor glow up on a specific display. no cap. 🖱️💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_set_mouse_cursor(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, ALLEGRO_MOUSE_CURSOR *cursor)

like, that's the whole thing. two args, one bool. it's giving low-effort-but-iconic. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: al_set_mouse_cursor sets the cursor you pass in as the current mouse cursor for the display you pass in. that's it. that's the function. 🎀

and the cute part? if the cursor is currently in its shown'</cyan> era (as opposed to its <lavender>hidden' era), the change shows up immediately. instant glow-up, no refresh needed, we love to see it. ✨

returns true on success and false on failure — so like, always check, bestie. don't just assume. 🙈

ngl, true = it worked, false = it did not. that's the whole vibe check. 🫶
