[FVG]: Controls Round C1

[Mike Ciance]

We've established that the game will use the mouse and keyboard.
We've established that the mouse controls will use the "voodoo" method.
Now we need to establish how the keyboard controls will work. For starters, here are some drive-control schemes that i thought of.

• tank drive
  • "Qwas Control"
    • uses these 4 keys to control the robot.
      • Q = left drive forward
      • W = right drive forward
      • A = left drive back
      • S = right drive back
    • pros
      • easy
    • cons
      • left turns feel slightly awkward
  • "Qwer" Control
    • uses these 4 keys to control the robot:
      • W = left drive forward
      • E = right drive forward
      • Q = left drive back
      • R = right drive back
    • the easiest way to think of this is that you have your 4 fingers on the qwer keys. to go forward, it's your middle two fingers. to go back it's your outer two. left is middle and pinky, right is pointer and ring.
    • pros
      • fingers don't have to change keys
    • cons
      • not as easy as "Qwas"
      • left turns feel more awkward than "Qwas", but would feel less awkward over time
• car drive
  • "Wasd Control"
    • uses these 4 keys to control the robot:
      • W = Forward
      • S = Back
      • A = Left
      • D = Right
    • pros
      • easy
    • cons
      • most robots are meant for tank drive
