This function will return the position of the mouse in screen coordinates. This is useful for if I wanna have my program respond to the mouse movement even when it leaves the program.
The
get_screen_mouse_positionfunction returns the addedscreen_mouse_positionfield on theNativeDisplaystruct. That field gets updated every main loop iteration. To get the mouse screen position, on Linux it'sXQueryPointerand on Windows it'sGetCursorPos.I tried to only get the mouse screen position whenever the function gets called, but that would require me to have access to
DisplayandWindowon Linux, which seems to only be accessible in the main loop.I also haven't implemented this for MacOS since I do not have any devices to test on.
