DirectX:DirectInput
From GPWiki(Redirected from What is DirectInput)
The wiki is now hosted by GameDev.NET at wiki.gamedev.net. All gpwiki.org content has been moved to the new server. However, the GPWiki forums are still active! Come say hello. DirectInput is the portion of Microsoft's DirectX API that handled peripherals for inputting user data. This input can come from many devices - mouse, keyboard, joystick, steering wheel and pedals, etc. All devices are treated internally in a similar fashion, making it easier for the programmer to manipulate and handle. DirectInput also supports force-feedback devices, making for a more realistic game. |
