Learn how to code a Mobile friendly, Multi Touch Joystick in Scratch - Until recently thought impossible - Today you will see it come true in the form of a dual touch thumbstick and button controller combination for movement while jumping / shooting / or other action of your wish. Now we can move and shoot at the same time!!! Awesome!
Scratch works great with mouse and keyboard, but showing off your hard work to a friend on your mobile can be really frustrating unless you have the best mobile controls. That's where this tutorial will help! Once coded you can backpack the controller script and drop it into all your favorite games!
My tutorials are for all budding game & software developers using Code Blocks. Scratch On guys!
