Question by vmnoodel · Feb 13, 2015 at 05:36 AM · touchresponse

My tap tap game - facing touch response issues

Hello.

I have made a tap tap jump kind of game for mobile devices . Recently I am getting a lot of bad reviews stating that the game touch controls are not responsive enough . I am sharing my code here (which I believe is flawlesssly near perfect) . Touch response is very critical in this game (a matter of life and death) for the game character . Also my game 2D and runs at solid 400+fps .

 void Update(){
 
         if (!isDead) {
             DetectTap();
 
         }
 }
 
 public void DetectTap(){
 
     
         //detect single tap
         if (Input.touchCount == 1) {
 
                         if (Input.GetTouch(0).tapCount == 1) {
                                 if (grounded) 
                                         jumpCommand = true;
                                         //jump ();
                         } else if (Input.GetTouch(0).tapCount == 2) {
                                 if (!hasDoubleJumped && !grounded){
                                         jumpCommand  = false;
                                         doubleJumpCommand = true;
                                     }
                         }
                 }
     
     }
 
 
 


UPDATE - - The game runs on 400 to 800 fps in Unity Editor - My bad - It might be running at lower fps on mobile devices

  • Also below I have attached the complete PlayerScript.cs

    public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour {

       /*
          * 1.Default player motion move forward
          * 2.Single tap jump player
          * 3.Double tap double jump player
          * 4.On collision with danger
          *  i.stop animation
          *  ii.stop game
          *  iii.change player sprite to dead
          * 
          * Animations:
          *  - default anim is freeze
          *  - running anim when game start
          *  - dead anim when hit with cactus

400fps on a mobile device? Are you sure?!

You shouldn't call Input.GetTouch(0).tapCount in both branches of your if statement - just call it once per frame and cache the result. And is that really the only code that runs in Update()? Where do you set grounded? Does it use raycasting?

no I am not using any raycasts . I am using simple Collision detection in script to make grounded = true . Also I have updated the question with complete code . I will cache the tapcount to see if it helps reduce touch lag . Need more optimization tips please refer code .

Hint: you're definitely not getting 400fps on a mobile device :) You really need to profile on the target hardware to get reliable performance tests.

Looking at your code, I'd guess Audio.PlayOneShot() might be the culprit; it's notoriously laggy on certain mobiles. Have you tried commenting those lines out? Are you using uncompressed WAVs? Have you tried changing the DSP buffer size?
