New Directional Input Feature with PY_THUMBPAD_Directions Enum!


Hey everyone! 🎮

I'm excited to share a new feature that has been added to the PyThumbPad: the PY_THUMBPAD_Directions enum! This update will make it even easier for you to handle directional inputs in your games.

What's New:

With the introduction of the PY_THUMBPAD_Directions enum, managing directional input in your game has become much simpler and more intuitive. This enum represents the four possible directions (TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, and RIGHT), making your code cleaner and easier to maintain.

How It Works:

The PY_THUMBPAD_Directions enum is integrated directly into the PyThumbPad class, allowing you to easily check the current direction of the thumbpad. Here's an example of how you can use it in your game:


if PY_THUMBPAD_Directions.TOP in thumbpad.directions:
print("Moving UP!")
elif PY_THUMBPAD_Directions.BOTTOM in thumbpad.directions:
print("Moving DOWN!")
elif PY_THUMBPAD_Directions.LEFT in thumbpad.directions:
print("Moving LEFT!")
elif PY_THUMBPAD_Directions.RIGHT in thumbpad.directions:
print("Moving RIGHT!")

Why This Matters:

This new feature simplifies the way you manage input directions, making it easier to build and maintain your game’s control system. Whether you're building a top-down shooter, a platformer, or any other genre, this update will streamline your development process.

Try It Out:

Download the latest version of the PyThumbPad and give this new feature a spin! I'd love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share your feedback in the comments or on our community page.

Thanks for your continued support and happy coding! 🚀
