What type of controls to use in a game I am making

[Rud156]

The title might be a bit misleading but that was the best I could come up with.

So now to the main part.

I am having a hard time making the controls for a game which was inspired by Ball Wars By Brackeys and a classic of game of Capture the Flag. Basically you either shoot and kill your opponent or be the first one to capture their crystal by standing on top of it. The controls are what I could decipher from the video. But I am having a lot of difficulty aiming because of the way I implemented the game by seeing the video.

Also I want both the players to play from the same keyboard as of now. So any help regarding how to implement the aiming would help me out a lot.

The controls are WASD to move and T to Shoot and Y to Jump for Player 2 and Arrow Keys to move Space to jump and Ctrl to shoot for Player 1.

 

The code is available on Github: https://github.com/Rud156/Sketches

The project name is: ballBlasters

Any help would be gladly appreciated.

I think when Player use T and Y key, their hand will cover the Space. How about T,Y ->V,B for player 2 and [Space], Ctrl -> O,P for Player 1

Thanks. But I have changed the logic completely to make the controls way easier. Could you try out the game and suggest anything more I can add to it. Although I have plans to add randomized levels, multiplayer support and power ups.
