Stk-code: Android: Look Back + Fire (on touch UI)

[Symbian9]

Since there no easy way for "Look Back + Fire" during racing on Android devices with two-finger input, here is idea how this issue could be solved:

1. Press and Hold Look Back -- for keep look back;
2. Swipe Up to Fire (while Hold Look-back) -- for fire to back.

UPD: Also here is extended variant:

• Tap on Fire -- fire to front;
• Tap or Press and Hold Look Back -- for quick look back or keep look back;
• Press and Hold Look Back + Swipe Up to Fire -- for fire to back while keep look back;
• Press and Hold Fire + Swipe Down to Look Back -- for fire to back without look back.

P.S.: Some definitions on touch UI

+1 here.

Alternatively swiping down on the fire button to fire backwards might feel a bit more natural.

Yes, one of this solution will be great.

Alternatively swiping down on the fire button

Yes, why not ;-) Then, maybe, additionaly need change buttons layout.

[Punkoivan]

Why? Just "press" fire and swipe down to the "Look back" button.

[Symbian9]

Why? Just "press" fire and swipe down to the "Look back" button.

Then need propper design actions:

• Tap on Fire -- fire to front;
• Tap or Press and Hold Look Back -- for quick look back or keep look back;
• Press and Hold Look Back + Swipe Up to Fire -- for fire to back while keep look back;
• Press and Hold Fire + Swipe Down to Look Back -- for fire to back without look back.

Why not simply make 'Look Back' button a toggle, instead of holding it? These swiping gestures are not intuitive.

This is now possible:

1. Press and Hold Look Back -- for keep look back;
2. Swipe Up to Fire (while Hold Look-back) -- for fire to back.

And also true for all buttons (they have "linkage" now like your unlock screen pattern)
