I started working on a small game just to test peer-to-peer gameplay. Anyway, as time passed I added a lot of features and a small singleplayer campaign. At the begining I put 4 buttons to control the character, because I just wanted something fast so I can check the multiplayer part of the game.

Now I want to switch to a d-pad, but I could only find sneakyness’s cocos2d d-pad. I have no experience what-so-ever with cocos2d and I don’t want to rewrite the whole game.

Has anybody tried to convert sneakyness’s cocos2d d-pad to UIKit only or if you know another d-pad which I might use?

    I’m not aware of any virtual joypad library that isn’t built for Cocos2D, Unity, Corona or some other engine.

    You can however harness the code that Sneakyinput uses to detect a d-pad touch. It’s pretty straightforward even if you don’t use cocos2d. Adapting it should not prove too difficult. After all, a D-Pad is just the same as 4 buttons that you need to test for a touch.
