Modules

The Button Model

Keyboard keys, mouse buttons, and gamepad buttons all use the same Button interface:

button.down
button.pressed
button.released
button.value

Frame-Based Behavior

Input is evaluated per frame.

pressed and released are only true for one frame, then reset automatically.

if input.keyboard.space.pressed:
    player.jump()

For continuous behavior:

if input.keyboard.space.down:
    charge_power()

Quick Examples

Keyboard Movement

kbd = input.keyboard

if kbd.left.down:
    player.x -= 1

if kbd.right.down:
    player.x += 1

Mouse Click

mouse = input.mouse

if mouse.left.pressed:
    x, y = mouse.pos
    spawn_explosion(x, y)

Touch Input

for t in input.touches:
    if t.started:
        print("Touch at", t.pos)

Gamepad Analog Movement

pad = input.gamepads[0]

if pad.connected:
    x, y = pad.left_stick
    player.x += x * 2
    player.y += y * 2

Read-Only Safety

All input objects are read-only. Input state is managed by the engine.
