I also put this on the discord, but I don't know which forum is most active, but here's a game I've been working on.. basically shoot everything!

Control of the fighter feels great. I always get in over my head with asteroids controls, but here I felt in control. Sounds too! Awesome!

I'm using a Genesis 3-button USB pad

Pretty much every Sega-style gamepad will need their buttons remapped in pad.c. I assume you dug it up from the depths of your pit of technology disappointments where it resided because of the nightmares from button remapping . You may notice the 8BitDo M30 overrides for my pit pad.

Modern gamepads have two sticks. Just sayin'.

I've entered the 21st century and updated the controls against an X-box controller. Also fixed issues with the keyboard that I was kinda ignoring. I hope it's fun. I'll probably turn my attention to power-ups and extra enemies at some point.

Modern action games tend to use A and X for the most common actions so you don't have to move your thumb between A and B. I don't think that was intended when someone decided how to label and number the buttons, but that's what it evolved to. The exit option doesn't seem necessary. I see you merged the left sticks, nice! Looking forward to that chain lightning power up!

I agree, X is much better choice. Easy change, done.
