Better Mobile Twin Stick Shooter Joystick

Questions & Answers

Hi,

I’m looking for help implementing a mobile joystick script in JS as described by here: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6323/a_guide_to_ios_twin_stick_shooter_.php?print=1

In short,

alt text

dynamic - meaning that the joystick center can move depending on where the user touches
active out side
JVR - meaning that dragging outside the joystick will keep functioning
play to border - meaning that the border can be touched and the joystick will still work.

I’ve Googled the problem extensively and I can’t find a solution. I would be willing to pay for a solution but I’d rather learn how to do I on my own.

Any help on modifying the existing Joystick.js file would be really great!

The joystick gives you angle (radian) and force (linear, cubic or exponential) while the thumb are, thumb finger, radius value, available rectangle and textures are easily customizable.
