Class 3 Input Handling

Overview

Objectives

• Time corrected move on delta time Unity
• SpriteBatch option in monogame
• Review Input class in monogame
• Movement in Unity

Skills

• SVN Commit
• Unity Package

Demo

• Monogame\3.5\SimpleMovementWRotate :The SimpleMovementWRotate uses the incorrect origin for rotation on purpose. Uncomment second Draw call to fix
• Monogame\3.5\SpriteBatchOptions : many many ways to call Spritebatch draw
• Unity\SimpleUpdateMovement\Packages\SimpleMovement.unitypackage : Unity basic movement

Inclass Keyboard input demo

Explore Limitations of Built in Keyboard state.

Input

input from Game Controller and Keyboard

GamePad

XNA has built in support for up to 4 game controllers. The default controller is a x-box controller. X-Box Controller The Controller is accessed through the GamePad Object and the GamePadState Structure reference types

         //Get an instance of the gamePadState Structure
         GamePadState gamePad1State = GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One); 
         
/*Since the Keyboard structure is Windows only we 
need to use some preprocessor
directives to only compile the KeyBoard 
state code if the target is not XBOX360 (I
should also add zune if this is one of our build targets)
*/
         #if !XBOX360
            #region KeyBoard
            KeyboardState keyboardState = Keyboard.GetState();
         #endif

Unity Basics and Movement

Demo add Art and setup folders

Movement script

parameter

public Vector3 Direction = new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
    public float Speed = 5;

Update

void Update () {

        //Move Pacman
        this.transform.position += this.Direction * this.Speed * Time.deltaTime;
}

Full Script with wall bouncing

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SimpleMove : MonoBehaviour {


    public Vector3 Direction = new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
    public float Speed = 5;

    static Vector3 cameraBottomLeft; //calculate camera left
    static Vector3 cameraTopRight; //calculate camera top
    static Rect cameraRect; //rectangle for camera


    // Use this for initialization
	void Start () {

        cameraRect = new Rect(
            cameraBottomLeft.x,

public class SimpleInput : MonoBehaviour {

    // Use this for initialization
	void Start () {

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
        //input
        //direction.x = direction.y = 0;
        keyDirection.x = keyDirection.y = 0;

        //Keyboard
        if (Input.GetKey("right"))
        {

        if (Input.GetKey("left"))
        {

        }

        if (Input.GetKey("up"))
        {
            keyDirection.y += 1;

        if (Input.GetKey("down"))
        {
            keyDirection.y += -1;
        }

        Direction += keyDirection;
        Direction.Normalize();


        //Move Pacman
        this.transform.position += this.Direction * this.Speed * Time.deltaTime;

	}
}

Homework

Moving Game 2 Interesting movement (Mono Game and Unity)

Update your moving assigment to make the movement more interesting. Use more than 1 input method ie Keyboard, xbox controller, mouse etc.

Create a Unity Scene with the same sprite and use a script to create similar movement.

Commit the mongame project and an export of the Unity Scene as a package to SVN or Moodle.
