This project is on hold until Godot 4 can export C# to Android

Mobile-VNC-Controller

An android application to control a device hosting a VNC server. It does not mirror the display - it simply provides convenient mobile control for controlling your PC without needing to sit at your desk. Work in progress. Made in Godot 3.5.1.

Currently, the only builds available live in the Releases section.

This project has been a workbench for several tools I plan on releasing separately. As this is my first real Godot project, I've run into several limitations that I otherwise would have taken for granted that I think others would too. So if all goes well, the following will be byproducts of this project:

1. A Nice Touch ™️ system built from scratch that makes multitouch and gestures easily accessible, allowing nodes to claim ownership over touch events for simplified game and application logic.
2. A small UI library to allow for multitouch and button up/down events
3. An in-game console log to view the outputs of a debug system (if anyone knows of a way too hook into GD.Print natively please lmk)
4. A Drag-down split container (used in my console) - currently limited by Godot 3.5 but I may work around that if I can

C# takes priority for these systems, however I would like to expose as much of it as possible to GDScript.

Special thanks to Godot Touch Input Manager for providing the touch foundation for the first iterations of builds.
