πŸ’… al_uninstall_haptic β€” NAME, bestie ✨

okay so first things first: this page is al_uninstall_haptic(3alleg5) from the Allegro 5 API manual, and honestly? it's a short one but it's important, so let's get into it 🫢

  • NAME β€” al_uninstall_haptic β€” Allegro 5 API πŸ’–

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

like, here's the vibe, copy-paste it exactly bestie:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_uninstall_haptic(void)

that's it. no args, no return, just vibes. periodt. ✨


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So al_uninstall_haptic uninstalls the haptic device subsystem. that's the whole thing, she's a one-job icon πŸ‘‘

but why do you care?? because β€” and this is the tea β€” on some platforms the haptic effects are bound to the active display 😭 like they're literally attached, they go where the display goes. so yeah, this function is useful, ngl.

so if you ever need to, say, close and reopen your active display πŸ™ˆ then here's the order of operations, do NOT freestyle this:

  1. call al_uninstall_haptic(3alleg5) before you close the display πŸ’…
  2. close the display
  3. reopen the display
  4. call al_install_haptic(3alleg5) after you open it again πŸ¦‹

in that order. fr fr. the way that the uninstall has to come before the close and the install has to come after the open… it's giving choreography πŸ’ƒ


⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.8 β€” she's been here since 5.1.8, an OG 🌈

🚨 [Unstable API]: Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users. 🚨

so like, heads up bestie β€” this is flagged unstable πŸ’€ it might get simplified later because not every platform supports all the features it exposes, and the devs are literally awaiting feedback from users πŸ‘€ so if you have thoughts, that's your moment, main character energy, speak up 🎀


and that's the whole page!! no cap, you now know everything this manpage knows πŸ§šπŸ’œ

kisses, this was the Allegro reference manual, page al_uninstall_haptic(3alleg5), and the footer tag said al_uninstall_haptic(3alleg5) too β€” same girl, same energy πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
