Subject: [PATCH] Fix gamepad hot-plug detection (controller connected after
 launch now works)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

### Problem
Currently, the game checks `InputManager.IsPadConnected(0)` once at startup to determine whether a gamepad is available. If a controller is connected after the program has already started, this flag remains `false`, and the input system never switches to gamepad mode — even when buttons or sticks are used.

### Solution
Remove the static `IsPadConnected` check from the main input loop. Instead, directly evaluate whether any gamepad input (buttons or stick movements) is present. The underlying input functions (`ButtonPressed`, `GetJoypadStick_...`) safely return `false`/`0.0f` when no controller is connected. Once a gamepad is plugged in and the player uses it, `controllerUsed` becomes `true` and the input mode switches to gamepad as expected.

This change:
- Eliminates the need for runtime connection polling.
- Works with any controller that becomes available after launch.
- Simplifies the input‑mode logic.

### Testing
Verified that a gamepad connected after the game is running is immediately recognized as soon as a button is pressed. No regressions observed with keyboard/mouse input.
