Controls (0.1.0 walkable demo)

Keyboard and mouse. The same list is shown in-game, bottom-right of the frame (AGigLineHUD), and the packaged Linux build ships with these bindings.

Action	Key	Notes
Move forward	W	4 m/s walk
Move back	S
Strafe right	D
Strafe left	A
Look	Mouse	Captured on launch; Escape releases it
Jump	Space
Reset to start	R	Returns to the grounded spawn point
Pause / release mouse	Escape	Second press resumes and recaptures the mouse

Notes

• Movement is relative to where you are looking (controller yaw), so the capsule stays upright on the sloped street.
• The mouse is captured on launch, so looking works without clicking first. Escape toggles the capture as part of pause.
• Bindings are Enhanced Input actions in /Game/Input built by Tools/ue_create_input_assets.py; the mapping context is IMC_Default.

Testing input without a physical keyboard

Tools/input_test.py injects OS-level keyboard/mouse events through a virtual /dev/uinput device (see Tools/input_emulation.py), e.g.:

python3 Tools/input_test.py --sequence move:2,look:3

It drives the focused game window exactly like real hardware, which is how the controls were regression-tested on the packaged build.
