# Controls

## Desktop

Click the game once to capture your mouse. **Esc** releases it.

| Key                      | Does                                                                          |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **W A S D**              | Move. CJ turns to face the way he is moving.                                  |
| **Mouse**                | Look around. Scroll wheel zooms the camera.                                   |
| **Arrow keys**           | Classic turn-and-walk, if you prefer it.                                      |
| **Shift**                | Sprint                                                                        |
| **Space**                | Jump                                                                          |
| **F** or **Space twice** | Kick. Works while running.                                                    |
| **E**                    | Get in or out of the green Sabre                                              |
| **Y**                    | Chat                                                                          |
| **P**                    | Scoreboard and all-time leaderboard                                           |
| **Tab**                  | Lore checklist: boards read and dossiers found                                |
| **M**                    | Music on or off                                                               |
| **Enter**                | Say the line                                                                  |
| **C / X / L**            | With a dossier open: copy the contract, open the explorer, open the launchpad |

## Phone

The game runs in the phone's browser, landscape works best. The left stick moves, the right stick looks. A ring around the move stick sprints. Buttons appear for **jump**, **kick**, and **enter** or **exit** when you are near the car. The stock ticker is hidden on phones to keep the view clear.

## Driving the Sabre

| Key       | Does                              |
| --------- | --------------------------------- |
| **W / S** | Accelerate / reverse              |
| **A / D** | Steer                             |
| **Space** | Handbrake                         |
| **E**     | Get out, once you are slow enough |

The Sabre is parked on Grove Street. It has arcade physics, it launches props, and it cannot hurt anyone.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bawsaq.org/playing/controls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
