## What it is
A third-person character controller for Unity written in C#, providing movement, jumping, and camera rotation controls. It supports both keyboard/mouse and Xbox gamepad input and requires Unity 2018.3 or later.

## Use cases
- add third-person character movement to a Unity game
- implement jumping and camera rotation for a player character
- support gamepad controls for character movement in Unity
- get a starting point for a third-person action game prototype
- learn how to build a character controller in C# for Unity

## When to choose
- you are building a Unity game that needs a third-person character with movement, jumping, and camera control
- you want a lightweight MIT-licensed controller you can customize
- you need both keyboard/mouse and Xbox controller support out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a first-person controller
- you require advanced features like climbing, wall-running, or IK-driven animation out of the box
- your project uses a game engine other than Unity

## Facets

- function: game-engine, simulation
