Use Flock XR on Touch Screens

Contents

    Flock XR works smoothly on touch devices. You can tap to open menus, drag code blocks, move objects, and use on-screen buttons. Everything behaves in a familiar way, so you can create without needing a mouse or trackpad.

    Tap to select and open tools

    On a touch device, you can tap to:

    • open toolbox categories
    • edit blocks
    • select objects in your scene
    • enable scene gizmos to move, scale, or rotate objects
    • open menus in the top bar

    Tap behaves the same way as clicking with a mouse.

    Drag to build and edit

    You can drag your finger across the screen to:

    • move code blocks around the code area
    • connect or rearrange blocks
    • position objects on the canvas
    • adjust camera view (depending on project settings)

    Use the on-screen keyboard

    When you need to type something, your device opens the on-screen keyboard.

    This happens when you:

    • search for blocks
    • update text inside a block
    • rename objects
    • change project details

    Typing works exactly like it does in any other touch app.

    Use on-screen control buttons

    Flock XR includes a Button Control code block. This block lets you enable up to eight on-screen buttons that appear directly on the canvas.

    You can program each button to trigger actions in your project — for example:

    • jump
    • move
    • run an animation
    • activate effects

    This makes touch-based games and interactions easy to build and test.
