Time for action — adding input

Now that we know how the FrameListener works, let's add some input.

1. We need to include the OIS header file to use OIS:

   #include "OIS\OIS.h"
   

2. Remove all functions from the FrameListener and add two private members to store the InputManager and the Keyboard:

   OIS::InputManager* _InputManager;
   OIS::Keyboard* _Keyboard;
   

3. The FrameListener needs a pointer to the RenderWindow to initialize OIS, so we need a constructor, which takes the window as a parameter:

   MyFrameListener(Ogre::RenderWindow* win)
   {
   

4. OIS will be initialized using a list of parameters, we also need a window handle in string form for the parameter list; create the three needed variables to store the data:

   OIS::ParamList parameters; unsigned int windowHandle = 0; ...
