bevy_camera_controller

A small collection of pre-built camera controllers for examples. Three files; not meant for shipping games as-is.

Purpose

Bevy doesn't ship a "fly camera" or "orbit camera" in the renderer because game requirements vary. This crate exists to share a few canonical controllers across the examples/ directory so each example doesn't reinvent the math.

Integration points

• Depends on: bevy_app, bevy_ecs, bevy_input, bevy_camera, bevy_transform, bevy_math, bevy_window.
• Depended on by: Examples; not part of DefaultPlugins.

Entry points for modification

• Treat this crate as documentation. If you need to ship a camera, copy the file into your project rather than depending on this crate (it has no API stability guarantees).

See also

• bevy_camera for the underlying camera component.
• examples/ — many use these controllers.
