al_set_mouse_emulation_mode(3alleg5)

💖 al_set_mouse_emulation_mode — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro 5 manual (that's the 3alleg5 situation, iykyk) and it's literally a whole function about making your touch screen pretend to be a mouse. slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_mouse_emulation_mode(int mode)

that's it. one line, one int, zero drama. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is the girl that sets the kind of mouse emulation the touch input subsystem is gonna perform. so like, you hand it a mode and it goes "bet, touch input, we're doing mouse things now." 🦋

that's the whole job. no cap.

🎀 SINCE 🎀

5.1.0 — so she's been around a minute. ⭐

⚠️ [Unstable API] — okay so the tea is: this one "seems of limited value, as touch input tends to have different semantics compared to mouse input." which is the docs politely saying bestie, touch and mouse are not the same girl 😭 so don't build your whole personality on this one, mwah.
