working on touch controls

Laserwhip
A browser game made in HTML5

I'm playing around with adding touch controls to laserwhip. 


Since the game was made with mouse and keyboard in mind from the start, I've had to completely rework the controls to allow controller support, but I think it's worth it. It feels much better to play with a mouse, but it's definitely playable with a controller. 


 After adding controller support, I played around with running on my android phone. Performance was actually great, so I was motivated to spend a day and a half working on touch screen controls. I'm actually pretty happy with how it controls. 


I'll be adding it to the page once I get it working through web. I'll add an APK for Android as well. I doubt I will ever add support for iPhones, but I won't say never.
