The VirtualJoystick to move the player character was a 200x200 px square. Now it is enlarged and adapts to the screen: it is 40% of the screen width and 60% of the screen height. It is still anchored to the bottom left by default, and to the bottom right with a new "left-handed" input setting.

Remove the TouchScreenButton used to repel / interact. Now tap anywhere else (outside the pause button and virtual joystick) does repel / interact. Before it was used for throwing the grappling hook in the direction from the player character to the tap position.

For aiming and throwing the grappling hook, instead of tap, now the player should swipe (again, outside the pause button and virtual joystick). And the swipe direction is used in the ControlHook to set the angle. This behaves basically as another virtual joystick.

Add input hints for the touch gestures. This makes the touch experience more consistent with the game played with keyboard, mouse, or joypad. And also solves explaining the touch controls. For doing this, import the touch_sheet_default.png spritesheet from Kenney Input Promts v1.5 (latest). Change the layout of these from right (default) to left when the new left-handed setting is enabled. Leave repel / interact as the inner input hint, because unlike the aim & throw hint, its size changes as the label is updated.

Also add tool buttons for testing the right-handed and left-handed layouts in the editor, in the same way as the balloon.tscn file does it for testing the dialogue at the top or bottom:

Grabacion.de.pantalla.desde.2026-11-11.11-54-44.mp4

Also: add a bit more separation between input hints: from 8 to 16 px. For making this in a single place, add a new HBoxContainer variant named "InputHintsContainer".

Also cleanup: Remove interact type from InteractArea. And remove now unused PNG files for touch buttons.

Update the Spanish translation.

Thanks to @rothiotome for the feedback provided, which allowed me to implement this.
