Hi,
I''m having trouble figuring out which input design is best.
My target is this:
1. Use the same sensitivity for the mouse as the user uses for the desktop (whichever OS.)
2. All buttons must only receive messages telling them what happened. (eg. EVENT_MOUSEMOVE, EVENT_MOUSEDOWN)
Currently I use buffered data to trigger events.
As you see, I''m not using buffered mouse movement like its supposed to be used. Perhaps there is a better way to get mousemove events, because I dont want to update the mouse position every frame (unless that is the real answer.) I also dont want it to be too platform specific unless the method used can be used on practicly all platforms.

Why not? Every one else does. (And I mean everyone - including OSes).

Messaging mechanism differ. Some platforms/APIs/languages send event notifications, others use signals and slots... If you don''t want to be platform specific, write to an abstraction layer like SDL.
