Is a future version going to support touches and swipes on the iPhone?

Kamazar

I'm checking out the program, prepping everything to start my game, but I don't see anything for touches or swipes. When the iPhone preview app comes out, will they add more functionality? I'm kinda limited with just the accelerometer

And just seconds later I read the post about the first GameSalad iPhone game that'll be released. *facepalms*

The mouse button is the same as a touch

Oh, true? Thx a load!

True, true, but I don't think swipes are supported are they?

If they are, someone yell how we do them! If not, then can I please formerly request this as a feature. I have some crazy ideas that would require a swipe behaviour, and I'm sure others wouldn't mind having it in as a rule, say.

Cheers,

Well, if you break down what a swipe is, it is just a touch on the screen and dragging your finger to another point and no longer touch the screen anymore.

Or in GameSalad terms,

If Mouse Button -> Down
- Change Attribute. StartingX = Mouse.Position.X
- Change Attribute. StartingY = Mouse.Position.Y
- If Mouse.Position.X not equal to StartingX or If Mouse.Position.Y not equal to StartingY
-- Change Attribute. CouldBeSwiping = True

If Mouse Button -> Up
- Change Attribute. CouldBeSwiping = False

If CouldBeSwiping == true
- Control Camera
- Constrain self.Position.X = Mouse.Position.X
- Constrain self.Position.Y = Mouse.Position.Y

Or something like that. That should get you a head start on perfecting it.
