## Controlling your Character

Control of your character is done through code. Below is the most basic snippet you can use to get started.

```javascript
import { connect } from "programming-game";

connect({
  credentials: {
    id: "<supply your user id here>",
    key: "<supply your api key here>",
  },
  /**
   * onTick gets called for each subscribed character on every
   * update from the server.
   *
   * It's fully typed, so feel free to explore the api.
   */
  onTick: (heartbeat) => {
    if (heartbeat.player) {
      return heartbeat.player.move({
        x: heartbeat.player.position.x + 1,
        y: 0,
      });
    }
  },
});
```
