What problem does it solve?

Phaser developers frequently juggle inputs from keyboard, mouse, touch, pointer, drag-and-drop, hit areas, and gamepad across scenes. This Skill provides a unified input system exposed as this.input, covering polling, events, and per-object interaction to simplify building responsive, interactive games.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Unified Input Plugin: access keyboard, pointer, mouse, touch, and gamepad within a single API per Scene.
• Pointer, Drag & Hit Testing: manage multiple pointers, draggable objects, custom hit areas, and pixel-perfect hit tests for interactive sprites.
• Keyboard & Gamepad: create keys, combos, capture keys to prevent browser defaults, and handle cross-device input in gameplay logic.
• Event model: three levels of pointer events (per-object Game Object, per-object Scene, and global Scene) plus standard Game Object events for comprehensive input handling.

Quick Start

Create a simple scene by enabling keyboard and pointer input, making a game object interactive, and handling pointer and drag events.
