TouchTETRIS
This 4 player game has some serious potential.
The last time I decided to highlight multitouch technology was when I mentioned the finger tools concept by Matt. And there is a Touch Notation abstract over here.
Today I found a DSL project “TouchToolkit“.
name: DoubleTap validate Touch state: TouchUp Touch limit: 1 Touch step: 2 touches within 1 sec Touch area: Rect 50x50 including last 1 touch within 1 sec return Touch points
The question is do we really want to express touch gestures from a text file. What if we would want to record touch simulation and give it a name.
In the following image we have a file “Default.g” which is the container for recorded gestures.
With JSC the developer would be able to apply this recorded gesture on all platforms supported by jsc. More details on that soon enough.
If you are looking for multitouch hardware see this list.

How will we define the gestures for our multitouch devices in the near future?
Here are some icons to describe various states of the touch points:
Here are some interesting scenarious;
