NEVER Do

• NEVER keep touch-only controls — Add mouse/keyboard alternatives. Touch controls on desktop feel awkward and limit precision.
• NEVER lock to mobile resolution — Desktop can handle 1920x1080+ and higher frame rates. Upscale UI, increase render distance.
• NEVER hide graphics settings — Desktop players expect quality options (resolution, VSync, shadows, anti-aliasing).
• NEVER use mobile-sized UI — Touch targets (44pt) are too large for mouse. Reduce button/text size by 30-50%.
• NEVER forget window management — Players expect fullscreen, borderless, maximize, and multi-monitor support.

Available Scripts

MANDATORY: Read the appropriate script before implementing the corresponding pattern.

desktop_input_adapter.gd

MANDATORY first read for input remap — Bridges mobile actions to keyboard/mouse without rewriting gameplay. Emits mouse_look_bridge_requested when FPS capture is needed — pair with mouse_capture_look.

hover_bridge.gd

MANDATORY when UI needs hover — Restores desktop hover/focus affordances mobile never had. Prefer this over ad-hoc mouse_entered dumps.
