// IInputPlugin.h
//
//	Abstract class that defines the interface to handle game's input with a 
//	specific device.
//
//	The inputs are updates in the process method. When an input is pressed, the
//	input plugin should increment the associated input entry, but only if the
//	entry is active (!= -1).
