Input System // Zig Game Engine Series
Welcome back to the Game Engine Series! In this video we build on the event system we built from last episode and created an entire Input system. The input system is a critical system in a game engine as it's what's game developer use to be able to get things like keyboard and mouse input. I also show one of the best way's to do singleton's in Zig through the standard libraries "once" function. With "once" we don't need to worry about the initialization of the struct, it's all handled for us in a thread-safe/atomic way.
📚 Topics Covered:
Using our event system
Building out an input system
