Title: controllers

Just curious how people are playing Gish in 2 player modes. I've gotten used to the default keyboard controls, and wonder how someone else is supposed to play with me... a USB joystick? a second keyboard (which would need to map to different keys)?

I have Gish for the Mac.

- Yes, from Gish's point of view a key on one keyboard is the same as that key on another, so you should use different keys on different keyboards. They can be close to the default locations, because your hands dont' get in the way.
- Like me, you're lucky that you're running it on the Mac. (Most?) Windows PC's start complaining (they beep and don't respond to the keyboard) if you press 4 or more keys (sometimes even 3).
- Much hardware will work, but you can't assign the axes yourself (CL: hint). Not really handy if you want to use the throttle on a joystick for up/down, and yaw of flight simulator foot pedals for left/right. :laugh:
