Hi!
I’m considering to add gamepad support to my game and one challenge I’m facing is simulating a gamepad-driven mouse cursor (Pyre, for example, has that). I would have to heavily rewrite input handling code for all of my game objects in such a way that it responds both to real mouse events and simulated cursor events (and keep track of the input stack).
I think a useful feature would be to be able to emit simulated input events from Lua that obey all the rules real input events do (they are input-stack aware and you get them in on_input).
input.emit_action(action_id, action)
Apart from software cursors, this would also be great for recording user input during play testing sessions and playing it back.
