[lib] CTRL - input handling

Post by raidho36 »

https://love2d.org/wiki/CTRL

Simple for basic usage and at the same time robust and advanced for extended use, this library provides all necessary facilities to handle user input, and with enough skill, can be extended to handle even the input devices not natively supported by the framework.

Code: Select all

local ctrl = require ( 'ctrl' ) ( )
function ctrl:inputpressed ( name, value ) print ( "pressed", name, value ) end
function ctrl:inputreleased ( name, value ) print ( "released", name, value ) end
function ctrl:inputmoved ( name, value ) print ( "moved", name, value ) end
ctrl:bind ( "fire", { "keyboard", "space" } )
ctrl:bind ( "fire", { "joystick", "default", "button", 1 } )
ctrl:bind ( "fire", { "mouse", "left" } )
ctrl:hookup ( )
Currently supports keyboard, mouse, gamepad, joystick input devices, input binding in many-to-many fashion, raw value mapping functions and clean value filtering functions, custom events and event triggers, and automatic grabbing of user input & autobind - for controls setup screens, and some more.

Haha right I forgot to put an if guard in that branch in the demo program. I've updated the demo, now it works fine.

Thank you for reporting it!

This looks really neat!

Would you consider adding a way to respond to key press/release events through function calls, rather than through callbacks? eg. ctrl:wasPressed()

getValue, isUp and isDown (equivalen to love's functions) exist, if that's what you're asking.

I mean in addition to what love provides, so wasPressed(k) would return true if isDown(k) is true in this frame and was false last frame.

I just usually find it a hassle to do event handling or button press callbacks when all I want to check is that a key that wasn't down before is now down.

I've found myself wanting to write a library like yours for some time, partly just to add this functionality!

Not sure it's that necessary, but I've added it.
