How do I handle user input in a C++ game?

You can handle user input in C++ using libraries like SDL or SFML. Do you have a specific library in mind?

I'm using SFML. Can you give me an example?

Sure! In SFML, you can use the sf::Event class to capture input events. Here's a simple example:

sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Game");

while (window.isOpen()) {
    sf::Event event;
    while (window.pollEvent(event)) {
        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            window.close();
        if (event.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) {
            if (event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Escape)
                window.close();
        }
    }
    // Game logic and rendering here
}

What if I want to handle mouse input as well?

You can handle mouse input in a similar way. Just check for sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed or sf::Event::MouseMoved events. Would you like a code example for that?
