Multitouch support for Android devices

#1 Post by SONTSE » Sat Jul 12, 2014 9:35 am

I searched for multitouch in docs and forums and they return no result, so I assume this feature is not implemented yet. (Or is it?)
So, if not, maybe, it should. Such usage of common android gestures (like pinch-zoom) could greatly affect a gameplay. To be honest, i thought using it on my next project, while believing renpy definitely can do it, because it can do anything :lol:

It's not currently supported. I'll probably move to SDL2 as part of the iOS port, so we'll probably get multitouch sometime around then.
