this is what you meant.
a pen-based square joystick engine with a lot of different parameters including modes and deadzone to change how the input works! for @chriscreators14, who was talking about a literal square joystick this entire time and WOW i feel not smart for not figuring that out (i thought he wanted it to be slider-based because that made the most sense with context because a joystick is very different from a slider but it's fine) i added comments to the code but if you're confused, please ask and i will try my best to explain in detail if you want any changes you can also tell me and I'll try my best ALSO, this is pen-based, meaning you'll have to use it on the backdrop. I can easily make a sprite-based version if you want, and that would actually be much easier than it was to make this! almost none of the code from the pen sliders was actually used here, but i still used a lot of similar concepts from what i learned while making them
