Control Design

Keyboard Controls


- WASD - commonly used for walking, easy to access
- Shift - since the 'Shift' key is when using 'wasd' keys the pinky rest easily over the shift key
- Mouse - for camera control easy to use, because of complete control of your right hand
- Space bar - i choose because the left thumb rests on it easily, plus it is a common button for the jump command
- for attacking i used the left and right mouse buttons, they are easy to control, and are usually attacking buttons in FPS's
- the special is 'F' because if is very close to the main keys 'wasd'
- blocking and pick up are 'e & r' this is because they are close to the everything on the left side of the keyboard, also they are the easiest keys to get to without to much effort.
- for laptops it will be alot harder to navigate with the mouse pad, so it could be possible to move the camera with 'ijkl' & attack with 'h & u', the reason for this is to make it easier for laptop players.




Playstation 3 Controls

- Anolog Sticks - Since the playstation has the action keys on the right hand side and left hand side has the directional keys the anolog sticks are easy to use for walk and running for the L Anolog stick and the R Anolog stick for camera movement (Since playing Call of Duty with the playstation controls) you don't really need the camera anymore while attacking
- the X button is used for jumping in most games as from (Crash Bandicoot Series, Call of Duty, Spyro Series) this button is very easy to use for the right thumb
- O and square are your attack buttons, because they are easy to get too
- since triangle was a button that is close to the attacking buttons I choose to make triangle the special move button, since it is further than the others, yet easy to access.
- Block and Pick up, I choose the R1 and L1 buttons because your first fingers rest nicely on the buttons
