Is there a way to add another button to a MakeCode game? For example, could I add a C button to the A and B buttons, or could I get a MakeCode game to accept inputs from buttons other than WASD, Spacebar, and Enter?

If this is possible, how do I get started?

I asked a similar thing earlier. You can check out the post here: [Extra buttons to arcade](https://forum.makecode.com/t/extra-buttons-to-arcade/7634). I haven’t dug into it that much, but there is a way to do it.

No. You can use the player 2 controls though but that will only work in the sim or RPi (but then you will have to wire the player 2 controls and it will still be a 1-player game)

You could use the “Menu” button. (Has no hotkey)

I didn’t think of the menu. Thanks!
