Your ship may be controlled from the control panel on screen, or from the keyboard. Using the keyboard makes for much faster control. Here are the keyboard controls:
Turn Ship Around: <space bar>
Drop Bomb: <zero> or <Enter> key
Faster: <right arrow> or ">" key
Slower: <left arrow> or "<" key
Launch smart bomb: "s" key
Move smart bomb: the eight keys surrounding s: q, w, e, a, d, z, x, c.
Move robot: the eight keys surrounding 5 or k: 7, 8, 9, 4, 6, 1, 2, 3, or u, i, o, j, l, m, "," (comma), "." (period)
Notes: If your keyboard has a keypad, the numbers are more convenient, but if it does not, use the "k" key and surrounding letters. the key to launch, grab, or drop is the same key, because the robot can only do one of those at any one time.
Phase II Controls:
Drop Elevator: "1" or "m"
Drop Block: "2" or ","
Drop Instant-Block: "3" or "."
Drop Food: "4" or "j"
Notes: I realize that the non-keypad keys don't make much sense here -- they're used because they correspond to the 1-4 positions for steering the robot. However, it is probably easiest to use the 1-4 keys at the top of the keyboard for this phase anyway.
