Create a touch screen compatible interface for tracing unit commands #27

Closed CameronJung closed 2 months ago

Since touch screens don't have a cursor a new method of ordering units will need to be implemented.

Off the top of my head the way this should work is that the user touches a unit and holds their finger. Then the user traces the order like you would your mouse cursor, and releases their finger to confirm.

Another method, and probably much better method would be that an initial touch just selects a tile/unit. A second touch will begin tracing a command, the command will be confirmed upon releasing the touch.

Regardless of the method above, it might be a good idea to prompt the user to confirm the order before executing it.

After getting my environment set up to test on android devices I discovered that a second tap on an accessible tile can order the unit. As such I am bumping the priority down to medium.
