Help! Adding button to flap?

zajinakajazz

Hello guys, I have a question that I've been figuring out since yesterday. I'm actually building flappy bird from scratch with a few tutorials etc, but I'd like to add several changes to it making it a lot less than the original game. Is there a way to isolate the action 'flap' to a button instead of just random tapping on the screen?

Also the following questions:

1. how to modify upspeed?
2. how to modify downspeed?
3. how to set long tap, making it float higher when pressed long?
4. how to set distances or spaces on the pipes from one another?

Thanks!
