</p>
<h3>Game Menu</h3>
<p>
When playing a game, <tt>right-click</tt> or press the <tt>escape</tt> key to enter the game menu. The game menu
gives the following choices:

<h3>Controller Support and Bindings</h3>
<p>
This game should automatically detect and use game controllers supported by
SDL2. Other controllers can be configured using third-party configuration tools
like the <a href="http://www.generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/">SDL2 Gampad Tool</a>
</p>
<p>
A small number of systems may have problems using detected game controllers. Should
that happen, hold down shift as the game starts, and disable the controller support.
</p>
<p>The following bindings are used:</p>
<dl>
<dt>Right Trigger, A (Bottom Button)</dt>
<dd>Advances through the game, activates menu choices, buttons, and sliders.</dd>
<dt>Guide, Start</dt>
