Game Engine Programming 055.1 - Basic input handling | C++ Game Engine
✅ Support Game Engine Series / gameengineseries
Previously we managed to successfully load a scene and light it using directional lights. We even have a few game scripts running, that animate some of the objects in the scene. The next step would be to work on other types of lights, such as point lights and spotlights. However, we need some way of inspecting the results and debugging the visual artifacts, which is rather hard if we only look at the scene from a single view point. So, I decided to spend 1 episode on writing a basic input system which we can use for camera movement using mouse and keyboard. Today we'll set up the basic functionality of this input system, and in the next 2 videos we'll use it to add camera movement and also expand it to be more practical for game development.
