Interface IInputSource

Namespace: MicroEngine.Input
Assembly: MicroEngine.Input.dll
Guide: Input

The raw device state a backend reports once per polled frame.

C#

public interface IInputSource

Remarks

Engine backends deliver events instead (IInputBackend); a polled source is still read every frame and its changes become the same events, so a host’s extra source or a test’s hand-set input is one more device.
