Usage samples

In your game's Initialize(), pass the game class to InputHelper.Setup():

protected override void Initialize() {
    InputHelper.Setup(this);
}

In your game's Update(GameTime gameTime), call the two functions:

protected override void Update(GameTime gametime) {
    //Call UpdateSetup at the start.
    InputHelper.UpdateSetup();

    //...

    //Call UpdateCleanup at the end.
    InputHelper.UpdateCleanup();
}

//Create a condition to jump.
//It should work on space, the first gamepad's A button, or the mouse's left button.
ICondition jump =
    new AnyCondition(
        new KeyboardCondition(Keys.Space),
        new GamePadCondition(GamePadButton.A, 0),
        new MouseCondition(MouseButton.LeftButton)
    );

//To check if the jump is triggered:
if (jump.Pressed()) {
    //Do the jump change.
}
