Maybe right and left shift could also be used for the top r and l buttons,
and the controls for the bottom ones. Just looks more like the controller
layout to me. Other than that, your suggestion sounds quite usable and
represents the layout as much as possible on a keyboard, I think. This
sounds interesting. :-)
You know, cause you are usually holding the r and l buttons with another
one, much like the shift and ctrl, I thought this was more natural.
Then there are also directional keys on the controller, but these can be
easily substituted with the arrows.
It's really a bit awkward to describe or simulate the controller without
actually using it, but I think you've got the idea.

There are 4 buttons on the front of the controller. circle is on the right
side, triangle is to the left of it. under circle is the x button, and to
the left of it, square button. There are also 4 buttons on the top edge, 2
on the left and two on the right. They are r1, with r2 above it, and on
the left you have l1 and l2 above that. Then of course you have the start
and select buttons twards the middle. It's all a little difficult to
explain if you're not holding the controller. If you've played systems
like the super nintendo, it's sorta like that. If you want to emulate the
keys as closely as possible, then your best bet is to use something like e
and r to represent triangle and circle, d f for square x. and perhaps b
and n for start and sellect buttons? for the r and l buttons perhaps
something useing the number row? lol. what do you guys think?

Hi Yohandy,
I am interested in the position of the buttons on the controller .
Is the square next to the triangle?
Is it to the left or right, up or down from it?
If the triangle is in the center of three buttons, then the end key can
substitute for it.
I would assume the position of the buttons will determine how difficult a
certain combination is.

Are you wanting to make a fighting game similar to mk? I'm not sure how
you
can relate a keyboard to buttons on a playstation controller. They're
just
so completely different. Now that I'm considering it, if you were to
create
let's say a mortal kombat game for the pc, it'll be a lot harder to play
using a standard keyboard. this is because many of the attacks we
perform
with a controller would be too awkward with out it. If anyone's played
emulators using a keyboard then you know what I'm referring to. Give me
an
idea of the games you wish to create and I'll see what I can come up
with.

Hi Yohandy,
Thanks for the list of challenges.
It would be interesting to make a fully accessible game using them.
I would need to know some more about the relationship of the keys to
come
up with standard keyboard choices that would simulate those on the
controller.
For example PCS did a boxing game using the six pack keys to throw
punches.
You used the insert, home and page up keys to throw left punches to the
head, center punches to the head or right punches to the head of your
opponent.
The delete, end and page down keys punched the body.
And the left and right arrow keys kicked.
The up and down arrow keys moved you in and out.
Could you recommend keyboard keys that would replace the square,
triangle
etc keys you listed?
Phil

oops! my bad. Replace down left square down left square, with down
left x
down left x. Or you can simply redownload the new file below. I also
want
to
point out something else I forgot. If you're doing a challenge and you
want
to return the characters positions to what they were originally, press
select. this is useful if you teleport and want to get back to the
other
side quickly without the need to jump over your opponent or
teleporting
yourself, or if you're in the middle of a wrong animation you can just
hit
select and it'll be cancelled. This only works in practice and in
combo
challenges. Here's the new link. let's hope I didn't mess anything
else
up.
