Any idea about touch screen controls for windows?

Post by reddragon72 »

So I am playing on Android and PC and I bought a Surface Go.
It is running the game just fine, around what Android does, but I have not found touch controls for the Windows version.

Any ideas?

The Android port hasn't been merged into the main project yet, so there's not currently a way to get its on-screen controls in a non-Android build. It'll probably happen eventually.

The touch controls are basically android widgets laid over over the opengl rendering context; written in kotlin using Android APIs. Unfortunately it also means that there's not a lot of code that could be reused for other platforms.

Enable and disable your touchscreen in Windows 10. ... Select the arrow next to Human Interface Devices and then select HID-compliant touch screen. (There may be more than one listed.) Select the Action tab at the top of the window.
As for how to enable gestures on Android:
Open up your phone's Settings.
Scroll down and tap on System.
Find Gestures and tap on it.
Tap on Swipe up on home button.
Toggle the switch to on — you'll notice the navigation buttons change immediately.
