General control methodology
In designing the controls for Hippotizer, we have made some assumptions:
- Users will always have at least two-button mouse with scroll wheel
- A screen resolution of 1280 × 720 minimum, 1920 × 1080 or greater is ideal.
- A keyboard is present for naming and keyboard shortcuts though not critical.
Engine Short-cuts
