Detailed Description

8-directional DPad-like representation of the Pad.

Constructed with Pad.toDPad8. Useful for simple games and ports. The middle of the pad is a "dead zone" pressing which will not activate any direction.

Implements all the same methods as DPad4.

Invariant: it's not possible for opposite directions (left and right, or down and up) to be active at the same time. However, it's possible for heighboring directions (like up and right) to be active at the same time if the player presses a diagonal.

For completeness, here is the full list of possible states:

• right
• right and up
• up
• left and up
• left
• left and down
• down
• right and down
• none
