Game contols on titile screen.

Hey Rodot,
I know real estate is a sparse on the LCD screen, so I've been thinking about a nice way to display game controls to the player.

Would it be possible to create a new class that can be called from the gb.titlescreen so that if a user presses the Up Button on the titlescreen, we update the screen and display the game controls?

In the game controls class we could call some nice methods such as:

gb.gamecontrols.btnA("Fires Weapon");
gb.gamecontrols.btnB("Change Waepon);
gb.gamecontrols.btnLeft("Move Left");
gb.gamecontrosl.btnRight("Move Right");

We could also call it if the the user pauses the game...
Just an idea

It think that some games will require more explanations than just game controls, and in some games it's just obvious. So you can add a page depending on your needs after titleScreen where controls are explained. If you don't want the controls to show up each time, you can create a main menu where an entry is "help" or "controls". You can also display controls as a popup when the game start as I did in Crabator.

In short, I think it's something too specific to embed it in the library.

u can also just add it in a menu and also include a pdf manual (u can explain everything more in-depth)
