 Description   

To reproduce, walk forwards with the d-pad, and don't pick up your finger. With your finger still down, walk backwards. The d-pad still has the forward panel out, even though you are moving in different directions.

In the image below, I am walking backwards with the wrong d-pad display.

Cleaning up all the old issues - please reply if this affects 0.9.3.

This actually works as intended.

I've been calling the 360° movement analog control. This control scheme seems a bit weird to me too... the diagonal buttons appearing and disappearing seems distracting to me, and a bit misleading. It also seems odd to have the forward direction activate analog control, while pressing the other directions first acts as a d-pad. Why not have analog control all the time, no matter which direction you start off in, and drop the diagonal buttons? I think this would be more intuitive and less distracting.

I'm not sure whether this is actually a bug; it seems more like a potential improvement to an existing feature. Since there's really no way for us to know what the intended behavior is, I'll leave it here anyway.

Yes, but the extra buttons are only supposed to appear when you're moving forward. Also affects iPad 3 iOS 6.1.

It's circle moving ( I don't know how it's name ). You can move in 360* directions, when you start moving forward
