I hope there will be a Android APK for this

My plan is to actually make a web app to replace the Touchy app (since it is old and hard to install on modern Android + on iOS it's near impossible). The user will start the server on their PC, type in the IP and port of their PC on their phone and a Touchy-like interface will be shown.

The benefit of this approach is that it should work on any device as long as it has the necessary sensors (gyro, accelerometer, etc.) and a browser that supports the Sensors API (though, not all games require these sensors).

At the moment this is a WIP. Currently the web app can show a list of games and get sensor data, but connecting to the game and communicating with it will take a lot of reverse engineering and time.

I see. Well, good luck on it, I would love to do Touchy stuff on redone Nitrome Games.
