Before, for Android, Minetest uses 4 buttons at bottom left screen as movement control. Some people feel hard to use and it only can move on 4 directions: forward, backward, left, and right. See Issue #1750.
So, we are going to add virtual joystick as replacement. (Pull Request #7126)
This virtual joystick can move in 8 (instead of 4) directions, which is same as keyboard.
Spoiler
^ unpressed joystick
^ joystick + turn around + sneak (from video)
Give it a try for yourself!

My questions: How is it? What's missing from it? How is your interaction with it?
Thank you for your inputs!
