Controls

* Meow Playground has different controls used for different things..
* Controls can be different for touchscreen or for mouse.
* Here are the controls in Meow:

### **Walking**

* Desktop: The control for walking on a computer is *one click.* Click on anywhere on the screen thingy to change direction and move there. By default, your character moves above where you clicked, but you can change that in Settings to make your character move to the center of where you clicked.
* Mobile/Touchscreen: You walk on mobile by tapping on anywhere on the screen. Same as above; your character moves above where you tapped, unless you change that in Settings. You only need to tap once to walk- tapping twice runs.

### **Running**

* Desktop: *Double click* to run. Double clicking means to click 2 times very fast; not to be confused with right-clicking (right clicking opens the menu). You will move faster than walking if you run, obviously.
* Mobile/Touchscreen: To run on mobile, double click anywhere on the screen to run. Click 2 times to run, not right click.

### **Throwing**

* Desktop: The control for throwing on a computer is the *space* key. Press the space key to throw an object in the room to the direction of where you are facing.
* Mobile/Touchscreen: To throw, press two fingers right click) on the screen, once.

### **Menu**

* Desktop: *Right click* (not to be confused with double clicking <see above>) to open a Menu. The menu will have lots of different commands you can use, including digging, reactions, eating, planting seeds, and more.

* Mobile: Same as above

### **Report message**

* Desktop: Press the *red flag* on the message you want to report to report it directly to the admins of Meow. Make sure to check the message before reporting.
