Controller

The controller is the central hub to manage your input in lolengine.

There are two way to initialize it:

• By hand:

  Controller* my_controller = new Controller("MyName");
  my_controller->SetInputCount(MAX_KEYS, MAX_AXIS);
  
  my_controller->GetKey(Key0).Bind("Keyboard", "Space");
  my_controller->GetAxis(Axis0).Bind("Mouse", "Y");
  Etc...
  

• More easily, by InputProfile:

  InputProfile my_profile;
  my_profile << InputProfile::Keyboard(key0, key0_name)
             << InputProfile::MouseAxis(key1, key1_name)
             << InputProfile::JoystickKey(joy1_key0, joy1_nb, joy1_key0_name);
  
  Controller* my_controller = new Controller("MyName", my_profile);
  

Using the Input profiles allows you to use several profiles by using Init() and ClearProfile().

Please note that Key value must all be unique, even if the device (mouse/keyboard/....) is different. Same rule applies to axis.

Querying the controller

To query the input status, use the corresponding methods:

KeyBinding& key = my_controller->GetKey(Key0);
AxisBinding& axis = my_controller->GetAxis(Axis0);

And then use the status methods for your usage:

With keys:

• IsDown(): Indicates wheither the key is currently pressed
• IsUp(): Indicates wheither the key is currently released
• JustPressed(): Indicates wheither the key has just been pressed
• JustReleased(): Indicates wheither the key has just been released

Or axis:

• GetValue(): Gets the current absolute value of this axis
• GetDelta(): Gets the current delta value of this axis
