Quick Start

import { Input } from '@gamebyte/framework';

const input = game.make('input');

// Keyboard
input.keyboard.on('KeyW', (pressed) => {
    if (pressed) moveForward();
});

// Touch
input.touch.on('tap', (event) => {
    handleTap(event.x, event.y);
});

// Gamepad
input.gamepad.on('button-a', () => {
    jump();
});

Polling vs Events

// Event-based (recommended)
input.keyboard.on('Space', (pressed) => {
    if (pressed) jump();
});

// Polling (for continuous actions)
function update(deltaTime: number) {
    if (input.keyboard.isPressed('KeyA')) {
        moveLeft(deltaTime);
    }
}
