I need to fix a touchscreen event handing bug, before my
touchpaint 2.0 script (with 600x800 multi-touch support) is ready to publish here.
I want my kindle native-mode GUI tutorial scripts as simple as possible, but my newly developing multi-touch support keeps trying to grow on me. I need multi-touch support so I can use two-finger pinch, stretch, and rotate touchscreen gestures to resize and rotate onscreen objects in "real-time", but I also want to keep it as easy and as simple as possible.
Simplicity is not easy, and it requires a lot of extra work. My goal is defined by these famous quotations:
"Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein
"Perfection is achieved when there is nothing more to remove." - Saint-Exupery
"I feel very strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex." - Fred Rogers
"Do the easiest thing that could possibly work, and then pound it into the simplest thing that could possibly work." - http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SimplestOrEasiest (@archive.org)
EDIT: If you are wondering why I call my work-in-progress "touchpaint 2.0", here is "touchpaint-1.3":
