Interface MinuetoKeyboardHandler

public interface MinuetoKeyboardHandler

The MinuetoKeyboardHandler is an interface for receiving a keyboard event (press, release) from a MinuetoWindow and handling it.

In other words, the class that will handle keyboard input from MinuetoWindow must extend this interface. In turn, that class must be registered with the MinuetoEventQueue.

An event is generated everytime the keyboard is pressed and released. When the handle method on the MinuetoEventQueue is invoked, that event is processed and the appropriate method in MinuetoKeyboardHandler is invoked.

Since:

Minueto 0.4
