Windows Controllers is just a folder that contains source and headers included by Engine.cpp or Engine.h; files in the directory are not directly compiled and linked into the project. These files handle the interaction between the application and Windows. This includes files that contain WinMain and create the main application window. There is also a frame timer and a screen capture mechanism.

FrameTimer

The frame timer reads the system time and maintains the frames per second counter.

EventHandler

Creating a new window involves having a callback function, WndProc, that is called whenever Windows has an event to send to your window/application. EventHandler contains the WndProc file as well as the global array of keys that tells which keys are current pressed/depressed.

ScreenCapture

ScreenCapture is a class that handles capturing the current screen and automatically compressing it in an acceptable quality "real-time" AVI file. Can use any codec installed on your computer.

Avi_Utils

ScreenCapture is really just a casing for code called Avi_Utils and written by Lucian Wischik; you can find it on the web here. The files themselves are copied here:
