Use in your game
Opens the authoring tool with these answers and settings already filled in. You still add your game's own rules and tuning.
What is in the ZIP
The ZIP holds the adoption and its acceptance tests. In the authoring tool, choose Add contract and pick this ZIP. If you keep your design as files, put them in contracts/.
The contract behind it
Covers which physical inputs produce each action on every platform. It also covers complete input methods, named control presets, remapping, press styles, simpler alternatives, and device-motion inputs. Action prompts, input timing help, shared-action choice, and event order stay elsewhere.
Questions
The supplied answer is marked on each question. Pick other answers to see what changes. Nothing is saved here: the ZIP and the authoring tool use the supplied answers.
How can players normally change the controls?
- Asked when
- the platform control sets list has at least one row.
- If not asked
- With no platform control set, this adoption makes no game-wide remapping promise.
Why this is asked
A platform may offer fixed controls, named layouts, or free changes. This answer supplies the ordinary choice before a platform states another one.
What normally happens when an action needs a difficult press?
- Asked when
- the platform control sets list has at least one row.
- If not asked
- With no platform control set, this adoption makes no game-wide demanding-input promise.
Why this is asked
Holds, rapid presses, double presses, and button combinations can block an otherwise known action. This answer supplies the ordinary choice.
Numbersno numbers
This contract has no numbers to set.
Rules1 rule
A rule is a check between the numbers. Validation reports a rule that fails.
-
Forbidden when Remapping default is Action and press style, and Demanding input default is Required as written.

The contract comes with 64 tests. A test that runs once per row is counted once for each row. Tests that do not apply to these answers are still listed, with the reason.
control-options-vocabulary
control options uses control sets, presets, bindings, action inputs, and demanding inputs
Applies to rts-pointer.
A control set is the complete current mapping for one platform and input method. A preset is an immutable named source set that can become current. A binding joins one physical input and press style to one candidate action. One physical activation emits one action input carrying every matched binding's action. A demanding input is a timed, held, rapid, repeated, double, simultaneous, input-sequence, or required-device-motion input.
Test steps and diagnostics
- Given
the
rts-pointeradoption and its cited control rules- When
- the control path is identified from platform selection through physical activation
- Then
- a control set is the complete current mapping for one platform and input method
- a preset is an immutable named source set that can become current
- a binding joins one physical input and press style to one candidate action
- one physical activation emits one action input carrying every matched binding's action
- a demanding input is a timed, held, rapid, repeated, double, simultaneous, input-sequence, or required-device-motion input

remapping-free-default · pc
pc permits free assignment by the game default
Applies to the pc row.
Audit class: observer-judged. An observer, not the running game, judges this. The row uses the game default: every covered action can move independently to every supported remappable input, including an unused one; conflicts resolve visibly before use; the new binding performs the action and the old one does not. After an accepted change, the contract makes each binding row's promises follow its action to the input the current set assigns. An unsupported assignment is refused. Each accepted complete result becomes current for every later lookup. The route is at controls.pc-remapping-and-conflicts; the test restates nothing from it.

shared-action-input-declaration-agrees
declaration check: rows sharing an activation agree on one action input
Applies to rts-pointer.
This declaration check reads the adoption and its cited physical activations and contexts, not the running game. Under the contract, one group contains only rows that can be current together: they use the same platform row, either all omit a preset or all name the same preset, have no disjoint cited contexts, and share one physical activation. Rows in mutually exclusive presets or disjoint contexts are not one group and assert nothing about each other's action-input value. Every row in a multi-binding group supplies and agrees on one value, and the emitted input carries every matched action as a candidate. A lone binding's name can remain implicit and asserts nothing in the shared-value comparison. A missing, different, or split value is a defect this test fails by construction. The check asserts nothing about a paired Action legibility adoption.

"This is the single normative authority for platform selection, preset choice, remapping, physical-input matching, press style, simpler alternatives, device-motion use, and creation of game-facing action inputs. Questions and rows supply defaults and cited game rules; they do not define another sequence.",
"A **control set** is the complete current mapping for one platform and input method. A **preset** is a named immutable source set that can become current. A **binding** joins one physical input and press style to one candidate action. An **action input** is the one game-facing signal emitted by a physical activation; it carries every matched binding's action as a candidate. Bindings that can be current together and share one physical activation share its optional `action-input` name, while a lone binding's name may remain implicit. A **demanding input** is a timed, held, rapid, repeated, double, simultaneous, input-sequence, or required-device-motion input.",
"1. Select exactly one matching platform-control-set from the running platform, edition, and supported device rules. 2. Resolve the platform's effective remapping answer. A row value other than `use-game-default` wins; otherwise `remapping-default` applies. 3. Establish the starting control set from the platform's cited rule. When a preset is selected, copy its complete matching action-binding rows into the current set. The preset itself remains unchanged. 4. Apply control changes only through the effective remapping answer. Fixed bindings reject all changes. Swap-only exchanges two existing assignments. Presets-only replaces the whole set with another declared preset. Free assignment moves one action independently and resolves conflicts before use. Action-and-press-style also permits a supported press-style change. 5. After an accepted change, the resulting complete set becomes current. Every later binding lookup reads that set, and each binding row's promises follow its action to the input the current set assigns. Presentation of the current binding is owned by Action legibility when adopted, otherwise by the game's UI rules. 6. On physical input, read every binding with a matching physical input and performance in the current platform, device, method, and preset-derived set. A press, release, hold, repeated activation, double activation, simultaneous group, axis, gesture, directional input sequence, or device-motion input matches only under its cited Fixed rule. An optional binding context makes the match provisional: whether that context holds is settled at the accepted moment, once step 11's timing help fixes it. Rows that can be current together and share one physical activation agree on one `action-input` value. A physical input cited by a `simpler-inputs` row matches as if it were its named binding: it emits that binding's action input and contributes the same action. 7. Resolve the binding's effective demanding-input answer. A row value other than `use-game-default` wins; otherwise `demanding-input-default` applies. 8. Under no-demanding-presses, the covered action has an ordinary route. Under player-can-change-it, the selected setting supplies the easier current press style. Under required-as-written, an incomplete demanding input produces no action input from this contract. 9. Under simpler-alternative, the demanding route and every matching simpler row remain available together without configuration. The alternative produces the same action only through its distinct cited input; failure to finish the demanding route never becomes the alternative by itself. 10. A `no-motion` binding reads no device motion. An `optional-motion` binding contributes the same action as its non-device-motion alternative when its gesture completes. A `required-motion` binding produces no action input from a non-device-motion attempt. 11. Physical input → this contract emits the action input → Input forgiveness (when adopted) may shift the accepted moment → Action legibility (when adopted) selects the offered candidate at the accepted moment → one action proposal. Thus an interact buffered during a cutscene evaluates candidates in the situation where the input is accepted, not the situation where it was pressed. The emitted action input carries every matched binding's action as a candidate; it is one input with N candidates, never N inputs. 12. When Action legibility is adopted, its shared-input case consumes that one action input and selects one candidate. Otherwise the game's cited Fixed selection rule resolves shared candidates, and the game's UI rules own their presentation. Event resolution begins only after the one action proposal exists.",
"The authority order is therefore: platform, defaults, starting set, accepted control change, current set, physical match, demanding-input answer, simpler route, device-motion rule, one action-input creation, accepted-moment shared-action choice, and one action proposal."
