The Virtual Gamepad is an overlay for Phaser games intended for mobile devices. The joystick and button will work with a mouse, but it's pretty pointless if you want to use the joystick and button at the same time.

• Copy js/phaser-plugin-virtual-gamepad.js to your page's JavaScript directory
• Copy assets/gamepad/gamepad_spritesheet.png to your page's assets directory

• In your game, load gamepad_spritesheet.png as part of your preload
• Add the plugin with var gamepad = game.plugins.add(Phaser.Plugin.VirtualGamepad)
• Add a joystick with var joystick = gamepad.addJoystick(x, y, scale, '<SPRITESHEET>')
• Add a button with var button = this.gamepad.addButton(x, y, scale, '<SPRITESHEET>')
• Joystick properties can be read with joystick.properties.<PROPERTY>. Properties include:
• inUse
• up
• down
• left
• right
• x
• y
• distance
• angle
• rotation
• Button state can be read with button.isDown

See code in js/start.js as an example on how to use the VirtualGamepad.

Joystick math is based on work by Eugenio Fage, whose original touch control plugin can be found here.
