If we are making a single button input game, which single button would you like us to use? Should we all use SPACE to be consistent?

Good question. The short answer is you can choose whichever keyboard input you prefer (space/wasd/arrows). Just make sure you document it at submission!
The longer answer is the hardware we will be using to evaluate the single-button input games allows us key-map specific thought patterns to any button on the keyboard (mostly). Since we have to train/set-up the hardware every time a game is run, it is simple enough to just use whichever input was coded by the developers. For instance, right now we have a Mario-like running game and have mapped onto "W" for jumping. If one of our participants wants to run instead (or say we use a different game), all I have to do is switch the input key (done from a GUI) or load in a different saved key-map.
