Isometric controls

Post by dr beep »

While coding a game with an isometric view and therefore also controls I figured out a perfect control.


A = leftup
Z = rightdown
K = rightup
M = leftdown

Movement is natural and I tried it also with ONE LITTLE GHOST.
Wonder how it would work on my QBERT.

Often isometric games has control like
1 = leftup
Z = leftdown
0 = rightup
M = rightdown
