💖 al_uninstall_joystick 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the allegro5 manual — yes, that's the manual name, it's giving reference manual energy and we're here for it. this lil page is all about al_uninstall_joystick, part of the Allegro 5 API. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

al_uninstall_joystick — Allegro 5 API 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_uninstall_joystick(void)

like, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, zero arguments. clean. iconic. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it do?? it uninstalls the active joystick driver. that's it, that's the job 🫶

and because the driver is gone, literally every outstanding ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK(3alleg5) structure gets invalidated — like, do not touch those afterwards, they are NOT okay, they are done, periodt 💀

but here's the chill part: if no joystick driver was active in the first place, this function just... does nothing. no drama, no crash, no nothing. it's the "you're already uninstalled, slay" of functions 🙈

also, lowkey important: this function is automatically called when Allegro is shut down. so Allegro already handles it for you at the end of the party. you don't have to call it yourself, but you absolutely can if you want that main character control ✨
