Overview

The Input System handles everything related to user input and game controls.

Dependencies

None

Requirements

On top of the existing features, the following needs to be implemented

• Increase number of control event actions to eight (Standard gamepads seem to have 8 buttons aside from the directional control -- need to confirm).
• Change configuration to allow more than one key/button per action/movement, so that keyboard/gamepad/mouse are supported simultaneously. Control events already support this internally, but cannot be configured that way. (done)
• Improve default control mapping, if necessary.
• Provide User Interface for customizing controls.
