Toot

I finally started implementing the input cheatsheet.

So far made progress on the gamepad one. The layout needs a lot of work, I also need to draw lots of icons, and PlayStation is being annoying as hell with its ​:ps_triangle:​ ​:ps_circle:​ ​:ps_square:​ ​:ps_cross:​.

I also had to update most of the button names, because the ones we had before uhh weren't very accurate. For example, I learned that no one calls d-pads d-pads. Instead:

• Nintendo calls it Control Pad (really +Control Pad but I didn't include the + for the sake of not having UI look ugly)

• Virtual Boy has Left Control Pad and Right Control Pad

• Sega calls it Directional Button or D-Button

• Atari Lynx one is Joypad

• Neo Geo Pocket one is Joystick (well fair enough, it is)

• TurboGrafx-16 one is Direction Key (wut)

• PlayStation one is Directional Buttons (plural)

And Atari 2600, Atari 7800, SG-1000 ones are obvously just joysticks.

For PlayStation I have to make a system like fedi custom emoji, and substitute e.g. @ps_triangle@ with an image showing ​:ps_triangle:​ and so on. This is gonna be a nightmare.
