On every tick it calculates the difference between the previous touch position and current touch position. Then moves the sprite 1/3 of that distance. If you want sharper control, increase the value (0.3) in the lerp function.

"Subtract diffX/50 from diffX" is used after the touch has ended to continue moving the sprite with deceleration. If you change it to diffX/10, it will stop sooner.

Thanks Dop,

That makes sense!

Although if I needed to create something like that from scratch. I would be totally lost. I guess it's just about practicing, getting it wrong until it goes right :>).

Cheers for that
