Samples — Godot C#

Example of using GameInputSharp.Core from a Godot 4.x C# project on Windows. Documented example and setup are in samples/GameInputSharp.Samples.Godot.

Requirements

• Godot 4.2+ with .NET 8
• Windows (GameInput is Windows-only)
• GameInputSharp.Core and Microsoft.GameInput referenced in the Godot C# project
• GameInput runtime on the build machine

Setup

1. Build GameInputSharp.Core and copy the DLL (and dependencies) into your Godot project.
2. Add a reference to the Core assembly in your Godot C# project.
3. Ensure the GameInput native runtime is present where the game runs.

Example script

Attach to a node; create the manager in _Ready, poll in _Process, dispose in _ExitTree.

using Godot;
using GameInputSharp.Abstractions;
using GameInputSharp.Devices;

public partial class GameInputExample : Node
{
    private GameInputManager _manager;

    public override void _Ready()
    {
        _manager = new GameInputManager();
    }

    public override void _Process(double delta)
    {
        foreach (var device in _manager.GetDevices())
        {
            if (device is GamepadDevice gamepad)
                gamepad.Haptics.SetVibration(0.3f, 0.3f);
        }
    }

    public override void _ExitTree()
    {
        _manager?.Dispose();
    }
}

Use _manager.GetCurrentGamepadState(gamepad) and similar for per-frame state; see the Full usage guide.
