directional_navigation.rs

//! Demonstrates how to set up the directional navigation system to allow for navigation between widgets.
//!
//! Directional navigation is generally used to move between widgets in a user interface using arrow keys or gamepad input.
//! When compared to tab navigation, directional navigation is generally more direct, and less aware of the structure of the UI.
//!
//! In this example, we will set up a simple UI with a grid of buttons that can be navigated using the arrow keys or gamepad input.
