## What it is
A first-person shooter controller template for Godot 4 providing starter content such as a 3D character controller with smooth movement, camera rotation, sprinting, and joypad support. It is meant to be imported into new or existing Godot projects as a starting point.

## Use cases
- start a new Godot FPS project with a ready-made first person controller
- add smooth WASD movement and mouse-look camera to an existing Godot game
- get a character controller that handles slopes, sprinting, and air control
- use a joypad-compatible first person controller in Godot 4
- learn how a modular Godot FPS controller is structured

## When to choose
- you are building a first-person game in Godot 4 and want a solid controller out of the box
- you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed, inspector-adjustable FPS starter
- you need joypad support and smooth acceleration/deceleration movement

## When to avoid
- you need a full FPS game with weapons, enemies, or multiplayer - this is only a controller template
- you are not using the Godot engine
- you need a Godot 3.x project without switching to the gd-3.x branch
