Checking for Keypresses:

You can check for keypresses by using the boolean check function GetInputDown():

example:

GetInputDown("a")

This GetInputDown will return true if the 'a' key is being held down and false if it is not.

The following controls are designed to be relative to the player's preferences and are given a binding in the config.txt file.
