Detailed Description

IActionManager is an interface with the purpose of giving the ability to identify which actions are being performed by the player. Do not mistake this by an input manager that returns true or false if some key is pressed. An action manager should identify is a button or key has been pressed this frame, or released, or the relative value of an analog control like a joystick. The responsibility of those features comes with the implementation.

Actually, a single ActionManager implementation should be enough for any game, but this interface allows us to implement also VirtualActionManager, which is useful for tests. Check those two classes for more information on the implemented methods.
