Remapping controls

Option 1 (Reccomended and most supported)

1. Click the Project tab at the top of the Godot editor and click Project Settings A window with additional dialog should open up.

2. Navigate to the Input Map tab and use the dialog box at the top of the page (labeled Action) to type "move_forwards", then click the button at the far right of the dialog labeled Add to add the Action to the list of Actions. You should now see this action at the bottom of the list, you may need to scroll down

3. Click the + symbol on the far right of the move_forwards column and select Key from the dropdown menu A dialog labeled "Please Confirm" should pop up prompting you to press a key

4. Press a key in order to map it to that action You should see that key appear just below the column along with a symbol, you may repeat step 3 if you wish to map move_forwards to more than one key

5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the following actions

• move_backwards
• move_left
• move_right

Option 2 (quicker / less config, potentially more buggy)

1. Find kinematic_actor.tscn inside of the Godot FileSystem tab (by default this will be in the far-left corner) and double-click it to open the scene editor
2. Click the root node kinematic_actor and look for the Alternative Input Map variable exposed in the editor
3. Replace the move_forwards, move_backwards, move_left, move_right with single character strings representing the keys on the keyboard you want to map the input to
