This is the code I am using to move the player based on which direction the player swipes and it works but there is a big problem. If I swipe my finger left the player will start moving left which is fine except that if a swipe my finger upwards I'm still moving left constantly and the only way to stop moving left is to swipe right but now I'm constantly moving right. I think you see the problem and if there is a fix to this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

You use separate vectors for verticalMovement and horitontalMovement, and never reset them. You probably want to store just a single direction vector.
