1. A computing system for providing input to an execution instance of computer program code for a computer program, wherein said input is initially received via an input device configured for receiving input when said execution instance of said computer program is executed, wherein said computing system comprises one or more processors capable of, configured and/or operable to:

  • receive, identify and/or determine a state of execution for said execution instance of said computer program;

    receive, identify and/or determine, based on said state of execution of said execution instance, one or more discrete locations of said input device as the only one or more selected input locations for receiving input for said execution instance when said execution instance is in said state of execution, thereby effectively ignoring all other locations of said input device with respect to input that may be provided via said input device when said execution instance is in said state of execution; and

    cause input received at said one or more selected input locations of said input device to be provided as input to said execution instance of said computer program code when input is received at said one or more selected input locations.
