SneakyJoystick

SneakyJoystick is a library that provides a 'joystick-like' features to a layer in Cocos2d-x. The library support:

• Joystick Thumb
• Joystick D-Pad
• Regular Buttons
• Holdable Buttons
• Toggleable Buttons

The project was originally created CJ Hanson (https://github.com/cjhanson). This is a port for Cocos2d-x version 2.2.1 and 3.0rc0

How to Use the Library

The best way to use the library is to create a JoystickLayer, and then add that layer to your Game Scene.

This is an example on how to create a Joystick Thumb

CCRect joystickBaseDimensions;
joystickBaseDimensions = CCRectMake(0, 0, 160.0f, 160.0f);    

CCPoint joystickBasePosition;
joystickBasePosition = ccp(screenSize.width * 0.2f, screenSize.height*0.2f);

SneakyJoystickSkinnedBase *joystickBase = new SneakyJoystickSkinnedBase();
joystickBase->init();
joystickBase->setPosition(joystickBasePosition);
joystickBase->setBackgroundSprite(CCSprite::createWithSpriteFrameName("backgroundJoy.png"));
joystickBase->setThumbSprite(CCSprite::createWithSpriteFrameName("thumbJoy.png"));

SneakyJoystick *aJoystick = new SneakyJoystick();
aJoystick->initWithRect(joystickBaseDimensions);
aJoystick->autorelease();
joystickBase->setJoystick(aJoystick);
joystickBase->setPosition(joystickBasePosition);

leftJoystick = joystickBase->getJoystick();
leftJoystick->retain();
this->addChild(joystickBase);	

To use it you just need to call 'getStickPosition'

This is an example on how to create a Joystick Button

CCRect attackButtonDimensions = CCRectMake(0, 0, 64.0f, 64.0f);
CCPoint attackButtonPosition;
attackButtonPosition = ccp(screenSize.width * 0.9f, screenSize.height * 0.2f);

SneakyButtonSkinnedBase *attackButtonBase = new SneakyButtonSkinnedBase();
attackButtonBase->init();
attackButtonBase->setPosition(attackButtonPosition);

attackButtonBase->setDefaultSprite(CCSprite::createWithSpriteFrameName("attackBtn.png"));
attackButtonBase->setActivatedSprite(CCSprite::createWithSpriteFrameName("attackBtn.png"));
attackButtonBase->setDisabledSprite(CCSprite::createWithSpriteFrameName("attackBtn.png"));
attackButtonBase->setPressSprite(CCSprite::createWithSpriteFrameName("attackBtn.png"));

SneakyButton *aAttackButton = new SneakyButton();
aAttackButton->initWithRect(attackButtonDimensions);
aAttackButton->autorelease();

attackButtonBase->setButton(aAttackButton);
attackButtonBase->setPosition(attackButtonPosition);

attackButton = attackButtonBase->getButton();
attackButton->retain();
this->addChild(attackButtonBase);

// Enable scheduler
scheduleUpdate();
this->setTouchEnabled(true);

To use it you just need to call 'getValue'
