Touch Camera Controls with C# and Godot [Andromedoom Dev Log 3]

👾Welcome to the Andromedoom dev logs! In episode 3, I'm showing you how I set up camera controls using the touch screen. In the dev log, I will be presenting the city building models I pulled together for Sydney and Singapore. I hope you enjoy this video series and stick around for the game's development! 👋

📻 Addenda:

1. Be sure to watch episode 2 if you'd like to see how the camera gimbals are controlled (https://youtu.be/zflfXwy5Wk8).
2. Alternative methods for connecting to the camera include using signals, or using GetCamera().GetParent().GetParent() as CameraMovement. Both would yield the same result, and using signals in the editor is probably the cleanest way. I just wanted to show how you can use the singleton design pattern in Godot using auto-load scripts.
3. Camera inertia should be multiplied by delta so it is a rate per second.
4. I forgot that I actually cut out the Goblin Shark speed modelling video from the last episode 🙃 I will append it to a future video.
