Add touch events for mobile game

Question

I am trying to create a game for crossing the road, I did for desktop version where I can move the player by using keys to cross the road, but now I want to do it for mobile version, any idea how to add keys to move the player on mobile devices. Thanks

Never developed a game - so i'm not sure if you are using jQuery too. If so there is a great plugin for handling mobile devices: https://jquerymobile.com/

Instead of click you have events like 'touchstart' and 'touchend' and you can also directly combine them with click:

on('click touchstart,function(){});

Hope this helps!
