InputDeviceBase

InputDeviceBase is a base class for implementing a custom InputDevice. The InputDeviceBase provides default implementation for all IInputDevice properties, allowing derived classes to override only some of the available properties. The InputDeviceBase class can also be instantiated to create an IInputDevice-implementing instance which returns 0 and false for all properties.

InputDeviceBase can be used in the following situations:

  1. To wrap input which is read from some input hardware which is not natively supported by FlatRedBall, such as a custom game controller.

  2. To remap controls, such as to change the default horizontal and veritcal movement on a keyboard from WASD to arrow keys.

  3. To implement AI on a top down or platformer entity. For an example on how to perform this, see the Enemy Input Logic tutorial.
