All viewers are expected to follow the rules of this channel. We understand that playing games through text can be stressful and challenging, so please work your best to follow these rules. 1. Be respectful towards others. If there's a conflict, work to resolve it as best as you can by talking it out. Contact a moderator to help resolve a tense situation. 2. There's a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, verbal abuse, and other actions that demoralize and/or hurt other players. 3. Obstructing game progress and related documents, such as 100% game docs, is prohibited and may result in a ban. This also applies to intentionally overwriting savestates. 4. Deleting save files or naming save files obscene or offensive names is prohibited and may result in a ban. Bad behavior ruins the stream for everyone playing and watching - we all can do better than that! Mods and admins reserve the right to silence or ban anyone breaking the rules or intentionally ruining the experience for other players. Last but not least, have fun! If you have questions, please message a moderator/admin on the stream or on our Matrix/Discord rooms.

Type an input to start out. You can see all available inputs by typing "!inputs" in chat. For example, "right" in chat moves the character right. "right+up" will move right and up at the same time. Append modifiers such as "right500ms" or "right1s". It goes deeper, and you may notice that our experienced players can make very precise plays. Don't worry - you can get to that level too :D Our bot will guide you through playing if you're new. The most up to date tutorial can be found [here](https://codeberg.org/kimimaru/TRBot/src/branch/develop/Wiki/Syntax-Walkthrough.md). It contains GIFs to help you visualize the process. Please let us know how we can improve the tutorial. You can also play on our Matrix server at https://matrix.to/#/#type2play-game-control:matrix.org Have fun playing!
