al_stop_timer(3alleg5)

💅 al_stop_timer — Allegro 5 API

okay bestie, welcome to the al_stop_timer(3alleg5) page from the Allegro 5 API 💖 this is the one that hits the brakes on your timer, and honestly? it's giving "calm down, queen" energy.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_stop_timer(ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer)

like literally that's the whole call, no cap 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea ☕ — al_stop_timer stops the timer you hand it. That's the vibe. That's the whole job.

When you call it on your timer:

• the timer's counter stops incrementing — no more ticking up, it's frozen, main character on pause 💀
• it stops generating events — the events? gone. not coming. bye 🦋

And if you try to stop a timer that's already stopped? nothing happens. literally nothing. it does nothing. zero. it's a no-op, and honestly that's so valid of it 🙈 no error, no drama, no side quest.

heads up bestie: "already stopped does nothing" is a real, load-bearing fact here — stopping twice is totally fine and safe, it's not gonna blow up on you 💜
