DAY -16
MOBILE JOYSTICK INPUT
Joystick: Horizontal movement and jump
Tap + Joystick up or down: Change current platform (a control specific to my game)
-
After programming for a while my own script for mobile input and not having real success (and after some frustration), I watched a Brackeys tutorial on mobile input and decided to go for a joystick. I did not want to use a joystick because I think just swiping the screen is more natural for a mobile device. But after installing a joystick pack from Unity Store I found a 'Floating Joystick', which means that the joystick shows up in the screen wherever the player touches and then disappears after being used. So, I implemented the joystick on my code, adjusted it to my needs and finally got mobile input for my game!
I did not advance with level design and art as I had planned, but I am very happy with my new joystick.
