💖 SDL_Virtua...ouchpadDesc(3type) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 DATATYPES corner of the manual, and today's main character is SDL_VirtualJoystickTouchpadDesc — literally the struct that describes a virtual joystick touchpad. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_VirtualJoystickTouchpadDesc — the structure that describes a virtual joystick touchpad. no cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_joystick.h>

typedef struct SDL_VirtualJoystickTouchpadDesc
{
    Uint16 nfingers;    /**< the number of simultaneous fingers on this touchpad */
    Uint16 padding[3];
} SDL_VirtualJoystickTouchpadDesc;

so the way this works is:

• nfingers — a Uint16, and it's the number of simultaneous fingers on this touchpad. multitouch energy fr fr 🖐️✨
• padding[3] — three Uint16s of straight-up padding. it's giving "just here to keep things aligned", and honestly? iconic. 👑

---

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

this struct has been available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, sorry bestie, she's not there yet. 😭
