The player event is quite straightforward. There are controls for left and right movement, thrust upward with the up key, this is restricted to half way up the screen but obviously you can change this.
The fire key requires denouncing (releasing) before another shot can be fired. You could change this if you wanted auto-fire but you'd need to code carefully to avoid to many on screen sprites.
