           Important

           Under Windows the Jump and Shoot keys are moved to the right to avoid opening the window context
           menu. That means Space bar ⇒ Shoot and right Alt ⇒ Jump/Swim upwards. Other platforms may have other
           defaults.

       Game Controllers
           Most game controllers and joysticks that SDL recognizes can be used.
           However, not all axes or buttons may be available. Needs manual settings.
