Twoway

Move an entity left or right using the arrow keys or D and A and jump using up arrow or W.

When direction changes a NewDirection event is triggered with an object detailing the new direction: {x: x_movement, y: y_movement}. This is consistent with Fourway and Multiway components. When entity has moved on x-axis a Moved event is triggered with an object specifying the old position {x: old_x, y: old_y}
