Detailed Description

A keyboard, mouse, gamepad, joystick, wiimote, player on the other end of a network, or AI.

This is where input device abstraction is done. Different types of InputDevices can be created that are subclasses of this class, then anything wishing to get input from any type of input device can use a consistant interface.

Member Function Documentation

virtual int Engine::InputDevice::get_acceleration ( ) [pure virtual]

Get a number representing the acceleration or breaking.

Returns:: A number from -32767 to 32767 giving the amount of accelerating or breaking to do: 0 if not accelerating or braking, a negative value for breaking, a positive value for acceleration.

Implemented in Engine::InputDeviceAI, Engine::InputDeviceJoystick, Engine::InputDeviceKeyboard, and Engine::InputDeviceReplay.
