FAQPage Schema

How do I handle keyboard, mouse, and touch input in Bevy 0.15?▼

You can handle keyboard, mouse, and touch input in Bevy 0.15 using a combination of poll-based ButtonInput and event-based EventReader access patterns. This approach establishes a robust input architecture across devices.

What is the difference between poll-based and event-based input in Bevy?▼

Poll-based input in Bevy checks button states continuously via ButtonInput, while event-based input uses EventReader to process discrete input occurrences. Using both ensures flexible and responsive game controls.

How do I implement drag state and unified tap events in Bevy?▼

Implement drag state and unified tap events in Bevy by establishing a dedicated DragState and UnifiedTapEvent architecture. This pattern standardizes pointer interactions across mouse and touch sources.

Does Bevy 0.15 support Linux evdev for touch input?▼

Yes, Bevy 0.15 supports multi-platform input sources including Linux evdev. The framework provides platform-specific guidance for integrating evdev alongside Bevy touches and standard mouse inputs.

What is the best way to structure a multi-platform input system in Bevy?▼

The best way to structure a multi-platform input system in Bevy is combining Resource-based and Event-based input access with a UnifiedTapEvent. This architecture cleanly separates platform-specific sources like camera.rs and touch.rs.

Can I use Bevy touches and mouse input simultaneously for game controls?▼

Yes, you can use Bevy touches and mouse input simultaneously by unifying them through a DragState and UnifiedTapEvent architecture. This setup provides consistent cross-device interaction handling.
