or just make a game that needs a joystick connected

Maybe right and left shift could also be used for the top r and l

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.
