Re: [pygame] touch screens
My X41 laptop (IBM - Lenovo) that has an included stylus-based touch screen did not work with pygame last year when I tried. Seemingly, SDL is the place where the support is missing. I don't know if anything changed since. Guillaume
Re: [pygame] touch screens
Hi, My company works with touch screens in a museum / educational context a lot. All the touch screens we have ever worked with simulate the mouse. I understand these new multi-touch screens may change this but I have yet to work with one. For the majority of commercial cases pygame will work as the screens simulate the mouse. Regards, Jotham.
Re: [pygame] touch screens
I used to work with touch screens a few years ago and generally they came with a PS2 connection and the computer saw them as a normal mouse... Do you know exactly what touch screen you'll be using?

Re: [pygame] touch screens
I was hoping for something that would allow the program to function on all touch screens.

Re: [pygame] touch screens
Most likely the touch screen looks to the OS like a regular mouse (except probably in absolute movements vs. relative) do you have atouch screen you could confirm that on?

Re: [pygame] touch screens
Currently I do not have a touch screen but I am planning on getting one in the near future.

Well I have a stylus (aiptek not wacom) and it behaves just like a mouse (unless you want pressure sensitivity, which gets more difficult.) but I expect touch screens operate in a similar manner, just with a screen beneath the touch surface instead of a hard board.
