al_set_sample_instance_playing(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_sample_instance_playing — it's giving Allegro 5 API 💖 welcome to the al_set_sample_instance_playing(3alleg5) page bestie, you're gonna eat this one up, it's a short one 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro_audio.h>

bool al_set_sample_instance_playing(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_INSTANCE *spl, bool val)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so literally all this does is change whether the sample instance is playing. that's the whole job. no cap. ✨

the instance does not need to be attached to anything — lowkey iconic behavior honestly — and this has been the vibe since: 5.1.8 🦋

and it returns true on success, false on failure. so like, check that return value bestie, don't just ignore it and then act surprised 😭
