InputMaster

Input Master

The InputMaster class is a manager type class responsible for helping with getting input from the window. It is created during the construction of the ToyRendererApp and updated along with the other manager type class before the Update call.

The main way of interaction with the InputMaster is through inquiring a specific key through one of the main 3 calls, GetKeyDown, GetKeyUp and GetKey. An example would be:

float x = 0.0f;

if (ToyRenderer::InputMaster::GetKey(ToyRenderer::KeyName::D)) x -= movementSpeed;
if (ToyRenderer::InputMaster::GetKey(ToyRenderer::KeyName::A)) x += movementSpeed;

In the above example the value of x can be used to animate left, right movement.
