Input and Audio

Keyboard, mouse, and touch

Input is queried through the current Context:

fn update(&mut self, ctx: &mut Context, _dt: Duration) {
    if spottedcat::key_down(ctx, Key::Space) {
        // Runs while Space is held.
    }

    let pointer = spottedcat::mouse_pos(ctx);
    let pressed = spottedcat::mouse_down(ctx, MouseButton::Left);
}

Read input in update so behavior remains independent of rendering frame rate. Touch follows the same principle, with mobile applications reading the current touch-point state.

Gamepads

Desktop builds include gamepad support. Map keyboard, controller, and touch input to common application actions such as Jump or Pause, keeping game rules independent of specific devices.

Audio

The Context manages audio playback, volume, and fades:

let handle = spottedcat::play_sound(ctx, sound);

Browsers generally require a click, key press, or another user gesture before starting an audio context. That is a browser policy rather than an engine error.
