Controls
The game needs to take special care to distinguish between jump-with-up and jump-with-button. Running is automatic in this game.
Configuration 1 (jump with button)
Level
- walk/run: left/right
- duck: down
- jump: button1
- grab: button2
- backflip: down+button1
Worldmap/Menu
- walk: left/right/up/down
- enter level: button1
Configuration 2 (jump with up)
Level
- walk/run: left/right
- duck: down
- jump: up
- grab: button1
- backflip: down quickly followed by up
Worldmap/Menu
- walk: left/right/up/down
- enter level: button1
Notes:
- backflip must work even when the user can't press duck and jump at the same time
- worldmap level entering is in one configuration done with the grab key and in the other with the jump key, this must be allowed
- escape/return aren't remappable in-game and hard bound to showing/hiding the menu
- peeking left/right handling stays as is
- a Start-button might be a worthy consideration, since its semantics are different from Escape
- allowing hot-plugging of joystick would be nice (calling 'Setup Joystick' should query the joysticks in the system)
- ladders behavior must be compatible with both configurations
