Features

• Manages the input states for you every frame
• Mouse, Keyboard, and GamePad buttons abstractions
• Touch screen contacts, with one pointer position shared with the mouse
• Long press and key repeat, on any condition and so on any device
• Tracking mode so that you don't accidentally consume the same input multiple times
• Static or instanced usage

Usage samples

In your game's LoadContent(), pass the game class to InputHelper.Setup():

protected override void LoadContent() {
    InputHelper.Setup(this);
}

In your game's Update(GameTime gameTime), call the two functions:

protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime) {
    // Call UpdateSetup at the start. It needs the GameTime to drive InputHelper.TotalMS.
    InputHelper.UpdateSetup(gameTime);

    // ...

    // Call UpdateCleanup at the end.
    InputHelper.UpdateCleanup();
}

// Create a condition to jump.
// It should work on space, the first gamepad's A button, the mouse's left button,
// or a touch screen contact.
ICondition jump =
    new AnyCondition(
        new KeyboardCondition(Keys.Space),
        new GamePadCondition(GamePadButton.A, 0),
        new MouseCondition(MouseButton.LeftButton),
        new TouchCondition()
    );

// To check if the jump is triggered:
if (jump.Pressed()) {
    // Do the jump change.
}
