robot wars issue: controls unresponsive due to second touch glitch.

Published 2023-11-28
this is a bug that occurs alongside the "glitch to neutral" bug where the direction pad randomly during a battle decides to ignore user's continuous direction input and return the joystick to neutral position. this bug takes place right after "glitch to neutral" bug where if the user has a second finger (for camera rotation) on the screen the direction pad will not register any touch and remain locked at neutral. the controller will finally start responding to touch and registering a user's touch when user lifts all fingers off the screen and then touches the screen again. in a non realtime game this may not matter but in a game where every second worth of reaction time counts towards a victory or defeat, the bug is literally responsible in affecting a battle outcome.

Context: in this video the clearest point of this bug occurring is while I am controlling the "war typhon" and I am just about to enter a tunnel. in the next few seconds a "rook" lands right at my position and destroys my robot while I am still locked due to the bug.
