Now InputDefault is responsible for giving out joypad device IDs to the platform, instead of each platform handling this itself.
This makes it possible for c++ modules to add their own "custom" gamepad devices, without the risk of messing up events in case the user also has regular gamepads attached (using the OS code).
For now, it's implemented for the main desktop platforms.
Possible targets for future work: android, uwp, javascript
Enabled by default as in Blender, but can be disabled separately for 2D & 3D;
the core functionality is in Input so this could be reused or even exposed to scripts in the future
When using get_tree().input_event(ev), the engine will JUST send the event down the SceneTree.
However, you won't get any of the benefits of the Input singleton:
- No InputMap actions will be emitted
- The internal input state won't be modified, so methods like `Input.get_mouse_pos()` or `Input.is_joy_button_pressed` won't return the expected output after sending the event.
This is fixed by using `Input.parse_input_event(ev)` instead.
I guess we'll also have to update the docs to reflect that this is the preferred method of sending custom InputEvents.
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
