​Description:
Currently, when a game is exported to HTML, it is difficult to play on mobile devices because there are no built-in virtual controls. Users have to install the TIC-80 app, to get touch buttons.
Suggested Solution:
I suggest adding an adaptive virtual gamepad to the HTML export template.
1.On PC: The gamepad remains hidden to keep the screen clean.
​ 2.On Mobile: A virtual D-pad and all the buttons appear automatically (or via a toggle) to allow touch gameplay.
Why this is important:
This would allow creators to share their games (on platforms like itch.io) with everyone, including people who only have a smartphone and haven't installed the TIC-80 app. It would make TIC-80 games much more accessible.
Additional Context:
Ideally, this could be an option during the export html command (e.g., export html touch=yes).
