(Merged) Android: Virtual joystick as movement control

by srifqi » Post

This PR has been merged.

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.

Give it a try for yourself!
APK (armeabi-v7a, 326eeca, minetest_game): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jBaud ... ODyTuvHctg
(Old) APK (armeabi-v7a, 95c0927, minetest_game): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PrJgL ... ZiqlbTc6xX

My questions: How is it? What's missing from it? How is your interaction with it?

Thank you for your inputs!
