Controller & Steam Deck Improvements

Dynamic Controller Glyphs

• Added a full graphical button glyph system replacing all text-based controller prompts (e.g. "[A]", "[X]") with actual button icon sprites

• Integrated Xelu's Controller & Keyboard Prompt sprite pack with support for Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Steam Deck controller styles

• Glyphs update dynamically — switching between keyboard/mouse and any controller type instantly updates all on-screen prompts

• Added GlyphProvider system that detects your controller type and loads the matching button art (or falls back to keyboard key sprites)

Building Interaction Prompts

• All 18 interactive buildings across Earth, Moon, and Deep Earth now display graphical glyph prompts instead of text

  • Includes: Shop, Auto Miner, Factory, Launch Pad, Upgrade Building, Elevator, Smelter, Blacksmith, Arena, Portal, Deep Earth Shop, Deep Earth Chest, and Moon variants

• "Press [glyph] to Enter" prompts automatically switch between keyboard key art and controller button art based on your active input device

Tutorial

• Tutorial task descriptions now show inline graphical glyphs next to each action (e.g. a Space bar sprite next to "Double Jump / Jetpack")

• Fixed tutorial skip button conflict on controller — gamepad users previously couldn't complete tutorial tasks because the skip button was auto-focused and consumed A-button presses

  • Controller skip is now mapped to a dedicated button (Select/Back/View) to prevent accidental skips

  • Skip UI dynamically shows a clickable button for keyboard or a label prompt for gamepad

• Fixed oversized Space key glyph in the tutorial that was covering the dialogue box — wide key sprites now scale proportionally

UI Panels

• Upgrade Stats panel close hint now shows a graphical glyph

• Upgrade Building description now uses an inline glyph for "see current mods"

• Bonus Display footer close prompt now uses a graphical glyph

• Cutscene skip label now uses a graphical glyph

Skill Tree

• Controls legend (bottom-right panel) now uses dynamic graphical glyphs instead of generic icons with text

  • Gamepad: shows actual Left Stick, LB/RB, D-Pad, A, and B button sprites matching your controller

  • Keyboard/Mouse: shows RMB and scroll wheel sprites

  • All sprites update automatically when switching controller types

• Legend refreshes when glyph style changes (e.g. plugging in a different controller brand)

Options Menu

• Fixed LB/RB bumper tab switching not working correctly when using a controller

  • Root cause: Godot's default input mapping sent bumper presses to the ScrollContainer as page-scroll events before the tab-switch code could process them

  • Bumper handling now fires first in the input pipeline, consuming the event before anything else can intercept it

• Added PageUp/PageDown keyboard support for tab switching

• Tab buttons now show LB/RB glyph indicators when a gamepad is active, so players know which bumper switches which tab

  • LB glyph appears on the left side of "VIDEO & AUDIO"

  • RB glyph appears on the right side of "CONTROLS"

  • Glyphs hide automatically when using keyboard/mouse

  • Glyph art matches your controller type (Xbox LB/RB, PlayStation L1/R1, Nintendo L/R, Steam Deck L1/R1)

• Tab buttons now use toggle_mode for correct active/inactive visual state

• Tab switch focus now uses call_deferred to prevent focus landing on nothing during layout transitions
