+// The input package provides an interface to mouse and keyboard inputs
+// like key clicks and releases, along with some higher level constructs like
+// pressed/released this frames, double clicks, and normalized inputs.
+//
+// The input package has two sets of functions for most cases, where one
+// is in the form 'xy' and the other 'xyCaptured'. The captured form
+// always returns normal events even if the mouse or keyboard are captured
+// by the UI system. The 'xy' form however will return zero/false if the
+// respective input device is currently captured (with the exception of mouse position, that is always correctly returned).
+//
+// For most cases, you want to use the 'xy' form. For example, you only want to receive
+// key down events for game character movement when the UI isn't capturing the keyboard,
+// because otherwise the character will move while typing in a UI textbox.
+//
+// The functions IsMouseCaptured and IsKeyboardCaptured are also available.
