Tank controls refers to a control system used in video games. In a game with tank controls, players control movement relative to the position of the player character.[1] Pressing up (for example on a D-pad, analog stick, or cursor movement keys) on the game controller moves the character in the direction they face, down reverses them, and left and right rotates them.[1] This differs from many 3D games, in which characters move in the direction players push from the perspective of the camera.[1] The term 'tank controls' comes from the steering mechanisms of old tanks, which had to stop completely before turning.[2] Tank controls were common in 3D games in the late 1990s, such as Grim Fandango and the early Resident Evil and Tomb Raider games.[1][3]
Grim Fandango Is Set In The Land Of the Dead. No, not Chatham: this is a vibrantly coloured otherworld, inspired by Mexican folklore. You, mister player sir, don the guise of Manny Calavera, a downtrodden travel agent who sells package holidays to the recently deceased.
Tank controls allow players to maintain a direction when the camera angle changes. Grim Fandango designer Tim Schafer chose the system as it allowed the developers to create 'cinematic' camera cuts without disrupting the controls.[4] Tank controls have received criticism for feeling stiff or cumbersome, and the remastered versions of Grim Fandango and Resident Evil include alternative control schemes.[4] The system became less prevalent over time and free-roaming cameras became standard for 3D games.[2]

The Hohokam represent one of the largest and most complex societies in the Southwest. 1100s through 1400s, there were tens of thousands of Hohokam people living in large villages scattered throughout the Phoenix and Tucson basins. At the cultural peak of the Hohokam in the “Classic” period of the A.D. Hohokam farmers truly had mastered the desert, in the sense that they were able to successfully grow crops in the same locations for hundreds of years and create a large, well-organized, prospering society.Why this once-flourishing cultural pattern came to an end remains a mystery. Hohokam villages also show that society was organized in a hierarchical fashion. Hohokam culture history.
