al_set_timer_speed(3alleg5)

💖 al_set_timer_speed — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro reference manual, the al_set_timer_speed(3alleg5) page specifically, and honestly? it's giving short and iconic. let's go 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_timer_speed — literally the Allegro 5 API function that changes how fast your timer ticks 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_timer_speed(ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer, double new_speed_secs)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what this does is set the timer's speed, meaning the rate at which its counter gets incremented once it's been started. that's the whole vibe 💅

and the good news? you can do this whether the timer is started or stopped. no waiting around, no drama.

but here's the tea 🫖 — if the timer is currently running, the change is made to look as though the speed change happened precisely at the last tick. so it's not all glitchy and mid-tick, it's clean. slay.

also, speed_secs has exactly the same meaning as it does with al_create_timer(3alleg5). same energy, same rules, no cap ✨
