I made a virtual joystick for a game yesterday, and I like it. I figured I could share it with the community.

It's the kind that pops up where ever you put your finger ( as long as that's inside the box you've told the joystick to work within ) and disappears when you lift your finger.

No having to look at the screen to find the stick again, it's always in the right place.

Anyway, included is some sample code and the complete joystick with graphics I created. The graphics is easily interchangeable and you are free to do so, credit me or don't.

Should be tested on a touch device to see the benefit.

Don't forget to add the UDT to your main.agc and #include tonkjoy.agc, and you're all set.

Haven't tried this yet but does it flip out when you use multi-touch or do you track each touch event and only use the specified event?

I only ask because this sounds very useful if it works well with multi-touch.

I haven't added multitouch. But it does work at the same time as buttons are pushed.

For the moment you have to put the buttons outside the box where the joystick is updated.

As long as it works for my project I probably won't update it more until I need more functionality.

You are however free to add to it
