/**
 * @file controller.h
 * @brief Input binding: SDL events in, actor state changes out.
 *
 * A control map ties one actor to one keyboard and one gamepad, and holds up to
 * #AKGL_MAX_CONTROLS bindings. A binding says "when event X arrives from device
 * Y carrying button or key Z, call this handler". Eight maps means up to eight
 * locally controlled players, each on its own device.
 *
 * The host pumps SDL events into akgl_controller_handle_event(), which scans the
 * maps in order and stops at the first binding that claims the event -- so a key
 * bound in two maps only fires once, in the lower-numbered one.
 *
 * Alongside that, and independent of it, every key press is pushed into a small
 * ring buffer that akgl_controller_poll_key() drains. That serves a caller that
 * wants "is there a key waiting" without owning an event loop, and it sees
 * keys whether or not a control map also claimed them.
