Hi,

We are starting our next AppGameKit Classic game called: "Mortal Pongbat™".
Game will be made for HTML5 Internet browsers and Android mobile devices.

The game is a two player simultaneous "Pong" inspired game.
On HTML5, the input would be keyboard and mouse.

On Android, we need multi-touch, which we have never done before.
Can someone post a code example of getting two separate finger touches simultaneously?

Game will be played in portrait mode.
Player one will be the bottom and player two will be the top.

Any easy way to do the above?
Let us know, thanks!

Multi touch. Not sure if it works with HTML5
The attached comms app shows communication between two devices over a LAN.
I'm not sure what you would need to do over a WAN or even if it works with HTML

Hi,

Just need mutli-touch (2 separate fingers) on Android.

Read through the link, but am confused.
Can someone show a small code example of getting two simultaneous screen taps on Android?
(one finger would be at bottom of screen and the other finger would be at the top of the screen)

Thanks!
