I have been putting this off FOREVER but it's probably time to start actually hooking into controller bindings and proving actual glyphs / images for tutorial text.

  • Keyboard glyphs (uughhh)
  • Steam Deck glyphs
  • Xbox glyphs
  • Playstation glyphs
  • HID glyphs (UGGGGGGHHH)

Also needs a mechanism to hook into these glyphs as part of translated text ( #110 )

I may have to convert all text to TextMeshPro in order to embed glyphs which... makes my soul hurt slightly, as this is something I should've done years ago anyway 🙃

also a possible neat way to nest SOs to do the work of narrowing down, say, <pitch-and-yaw> to individual tags <keyboard_up> <keyboard_down> etc (🔼 🔽 ◀️ ▶️) for keyboard vs ↕️↔️ or whatever for axes is presented here https://www.indiedb.com/games/the-last-cube/tutorials/dynamic-tutorial-strings-in-unity with code here https://github.com/Improx/pluggables
