Examples

Handling touch input

  handleTouchAt(x, y)
end

Multi-touch handling

function love.touchmoved(id, x, y, dx, dy, pressure)
  if touches[id] then
    -- Update touch position
    touches[id].x = x
    touches[id].y = y

    -- Handle drag gesture
    handleDrag(id, dx, dy)
  end
end

function love.touchreleased(id, x, y, dx, dy, pressure)
  -- Remove touch
  touches[id] = nil
end
