# GCExtendedGamepadSnapshot

A recording of all of the values provided by a GCExtendedGamepad object.

## Declaration

```swift
class GCExtendedGamepadSnapshot
```

## Overview

Overview To create a gamepad snapshot, call the saveSnapshot() method on a GCExtendedGamepad object. The GCExtendedGamepadSnapshot class is a subclass of the GCExtendedGamepad class, so you use the parent class’s properties to read the individual element values. The snapshot is stored in a device independent format. To get the flattened data representation of the snapshot data, read the snapshotData property.
