Overview

A Controller receives commands from a InputDevice and executes codes associated with those commands. Every InputDevice instance has a variable called @controller that must point to an instance of this class.

The purpose of this class is to allow you to change the effect of user input by merely changing the currently active controller; you would do so, for example, when the user pauses the game, or when the user’s character enters a vehicle.
