Function Pointers (InputManager Class) | C++ in 2021

In this lesson, I guide you through using c ++ function pointer and lambdas to store and invoke callbacks from anywhere in your applications.

This is demonstrated through a mock Input Manager that you might find in a game engine implementation.

We start off by mocking out the manager, support accepting c ++ function pointers and then enhancing the class to accept a wider set of functions using std::function and lambdas.

Godot Dragonbones is a custom Godot engine build with the godot_dragonbones module that I am maintaining and distributing. It provides full-featured, 2D Skeletal animation support for the DragonBones API; a free, open source alternative to Spine: 2D Skeletal Animation.
