Great work, just didn't like the key bindings. W-A-S-D is a better choice than A-S-D-F.

- jhbadger 7y agoNormally an Apple ][ would use IJKM for movement and space for fire (rarely did games need more than one action button, but control and return were also used for those) On the IIe/IIc which had apple keys, those were also used.
- djmips 7y agoSome Apple ][ games used A,Z for up down and left, right arrows for left and right.
- djmips 7y agoA-S-D-F was probably chosen because the Vectrex has the four buttons 1-4 in a row.
