Ok guys this is serious , i am in the middle of developing an ipad game and i just heard that there is a new feature coming out that replace the "home button" , if you shrink 5 fingers on the ipad screen it will take you to the home screen ,
well , i have a section in my game that the player needs to shrink 5 ringers on the screen as part of the gameplay! will that make him leave the game and go to the home screen ?!

(i know you cant test it cause this function is not out yet but from your knowledge what do you think will happent?)

This is very crucial to the continuation of my game development .

Roy.

    Any news from the GS Dev team about this? Code monkey please help
    The current version let us recognize up to 11 touches ,
    You probably use SDK 4.3B so you might know about this new feature dont you?!

    will our games go to home screen of the ipad when we use 5 touches in a shrink motion ?!

    that feature is not part of the default 4.3 build, it has to be enabled by hooking your iPad up to a machine an enabling developer tools on the iPad.

    plus, that is such a rumor right now, you can't put any weight on it.

    Gizmodo has an article with video demonstrating several multitouch gestures that are included in the new iOS 4.3 build. Do you have an iPad? You could install the testing version of 4.3 and see how it works.

    No unfortunately I don't have an iPad. I do the tests on my iPhone 4

    Did anyone with an iPad tried it?
