Hi, I’m making a ping pong game, and I want to be able to control Player 2 to make sure it works. Only thing though, I can only control Player 1. Is there a way I can control Player 2? Thanks!
Here is my code:
```auto
controller.up.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
paddle1.y += -7
})
controller.down.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
paddle1.y += 7
})
controller.player2.onButtonEvent(ControllerButton.Up, ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
paddle2.y += -7
})
controller.player2.onButtonEvent(ControllerButton.Down, ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
paddle2.y += 7
})
let paddle2: Sprite = null
let paddle1: Sprite = null
// Paddle hit noise
music.pewPew.playUntilDone()
// Get point sound
music.baDing.playUntilDone()
// game start sound
music.powerUp.playUntilDone()
info.player1.setScore(0)
info.player2.setScore(0)
paddle1 = sprites.create(img..., SpriteKind.Player)
paddle1.setPosition(24, 61)
paddle2 = sprites.create(img..., SpriteKind.Player)
paddle2.setPosition(136, 61)
let ball = sprites.create(img..., SpriteKind.Projectile)
})
```

The IJKL keys should work for the second player like the WASD keys work for the first player (if you happen to have two game controllers, like xbox controllers, connecting them should work too - though some buttons might be mapped weirdly depending on the controllers)
