Fancy Schmancy Joystick is a simple joystick class built for Cococs2d v3 and SpriteKit. It's built with look and feel as primary focus.
Fancy Schmancy Joystick is not recommended if your game already has a lot of stuff going on as it is pretty perfomance heavy. However, there is definitely room for more optimization in the class.
For SpriteKit port checkout branch spritekit
