Usage
Check out the examples for details.
Add to Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
bevy = "0.10.1"
virtual_joystick = "*" # Add your version
To solve sizing issue
[patch.crates-io]
android-activity = { git = "https://github.com/MarijnS95/android-activity/", branch = "na-resize"}
The minimal requirement:
use bevy::prelude::*;
// import crate
use virtual_joystick::*;
// ID for joysticks
#[derive(Default, Reflect, Hash, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
enum JoystickControllerID {
#[default]
Joystick1,
Joystick2,
}
#[bevy_main]
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
// Add plugin to application
.add_plugin(VirtualJoystickPlugin::<JoystickControllerID>::default())
.run()
}
Create Joystick
#[bevy_main]
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
// Add plugin to application
.add_plugin(VirtualJoystickPlugin)
// Create system
.add_startup_system(create_scene)
// update System
.add_system(update_player)
.run()
}
fn create_scene(mut cmd: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
cmd.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());
cmd.spawn_empty().insert(Player(30.));
// Spawn Virtual Joystick at horizontal center
cmd.spawn(
// Define variable for Joystick
VirtualJoystickBundle::new(VirtualJoystickNode {
border_image: asset_server.load("Outline.png"),
knob_image: asset_server.load("Knob.png"),
knob_size: Vec2::new(80., 80.),
dead_zone: 0.,
id: JoystickControllerID::Joystick1,
axis: VirtualJoystickAxis::Horizontal,
behaviour: VirtualJoystickType::Fixed,
})
.set_color(TintColor(Color::WHITE))
.set_style(Style {
size: Size::all(Val::Px(150.)),
position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
position: UiRect {
left: Val::Percent(50.),
bottom: Val::Percent(15.),
..default()
},
..default()
}),
)
// When you add this component you mark this area as interactable for Joystick
.insert(VirtualJoystickInteractionArea);
}
Use variable generated by Joystick
fn update_joystick(
mut joystick: EventReader<VirtualJoystickEvent<JoystickControllerID>>,
mut player: Query<(&mut Transform, &Player)>,
time_step: Res<FixedTime>,
) {
// Get player
let (mut player, player_data) = player.single_mut();
// Iter each joystick event
for j in joystick.iter() {
// get axis value 0-1 in x & y
let Vec2 { x, y } = j.axis();
// Verify ID of joystick for movement
match j.id() {
JoystickControllerID::Joystick1 => {
// Move player using joystick axis value
player.translation.x += x * player_data.0 * time_step.period.as_secs_f32();
player.translation.y += y * player_data.0 * time_step.period.as_secs_f32();
}
}
}
}

Issues
- Sizing problem between desktop and mobile (UI/2D)
Note: Temporary solution, add this to your Cargo.toml
[patch.crates-io] android-activity = { git = "https://github.com/MarijnS95/android-activity/", branch = "na-resize"}
TODOs
- Add more documentation
- Fix movement of Dynamic joystick
