hello everybody.

Do you know where can I get pictures of movement keys?
For example, if I have left, right, up, down arrow keys for actor movement, I want to show their pictures rather than to write it in the help menu.
Players will not read instructions, so pictures are the best solution.
In google a lot of  rubbish information.

What do you advise and suggest so as to solve this problem?

It would be nice if they were in png format.

HereĀ“s a whole keyboard. Any image editor can save to a .png file.
The space key is a challenge, takes a lot of space and says nothing.  :)
Maybe you should use the whole keyboard and highlight the relevant keys?

This Keyboard will be very difficult to use because I need small picture sizes like 120x90, etc. for my game. Additionally, it will be impossible to distinguish keys on the keyboard picture.
I want png, because I need alpha channel on my pictures in order to make  some colours transparent, for example, white colour.
Please be so patient and kind so as to help me and make out that problem.

If you're going to be picky about the style then you'll have to ask (or hire) an artist for help.

I checked out The Noun Project and while they had arrow keys as an icon there wasn't individual keys otherwise, just "keyboard" as a whole mostly.

There was a promising collection on Wikipedia Commons but not what you needed, sadly.

It seems there is no universal Space Bar icon or logo. Sorry.
