Joystick In Godot 4 (with mobile test)
23A simple video showing how to make a functional joystick in Godot 4.0 using simple vector math and autoloads/singletons. You'll see the joystick in action on an Android device PLUS this is my first video with a handcam!
The implementation here relies on autoloads and basic vector math, making it both efficient and easy to follow. Code snippets are included below to help you get started quickly!
I've also added links to:
Resources for working with autoloads, there are other videos but this is the "original" document for many:

My older Godot 3 video, where I dive into clamping for joystick controls.
Whether you're upgrading from Godot 3 or new to joystick creation, this video has you covered.
