    Not sure what type of game it's for, but some of my favs are:

    -Follow finger position.
    -Invisible joystick (360 degree rotational confined to a section of the screen and it calculates based on touch position).
    -Simple d pad.
    -Gyroscopic controls (if done well).

    Hi @GM_Pandagames, control systems vary depending on the type of game and what feel you want to give your game. There is no "best" control layout. That being said, if I were you, I would lean toward the click-and-move controls. If you decide to use those controls, let me know and I will be happy to show you how. :)

    Cheers!

    I agree with PureEpicStudios. It all depends on what game your're creating. Although I would discourage using arrows if the game isn't going onto a smartphone or touch device as you can't use your mouse on two arrows at once, removing any kind of diagonal movement.

    Yet again, it all depends on the game.
