# Basic Drone Demo


## Purpose 

This demo was built to demonstrate an idea for a latency effect in a server controlled multi-player game.  It happened to also demonstrate a few needed parts for the larger video game I want to make.  Server based physics. Control of a drone.  Switching between characters, control and view independently. Server directed rendering for 3d.

## Controls

'v' switches between the human and the drone

### Human

The human is the most simple.  WASD for movement, and arrows for looking

### Drone

Up arrow increases prop speed  
Down arrow reduces prop speed  
Left and Right arrows control yaw, and so do Q and E.  
W pitches forwards and S pitches back  
A rolls left and D rolls right  
F instantly removes any roll or pitch  
G instantly removes roll and pitch and momentum  

## Things someone could do if they fork the repo

- Pointing the camera down a little bit on the drone would improve its control
- Replace the rectagles with actual models
- Add a button that will toggle the control but not the view so you can fly the drone outside of FPV
- Make F and G controls feel more natural
- Increase the FPS parameters.  You probably can just put in higher numbers.
