Using F-200 Touchscreen In Fenix

[g105b]

Hi, I'm a fenix developer and have just received my F-200 and am planning on developing some games for it.

I was under the impression that the touch screen would act as the mouse, and I could use the mouse struct in fenix (mouse.x mouse.y mouse.left etc) but it doesn't seem to work like that.

So how does the touch screen work? Does it act as a joystick? change a variable? or do I need some DLL or something?

Please reply because I want to get started

I think you will have to wait until Fenix itself is updated. For now you could dev' using a USB mouse until touchscreen support is added to the Fenix runtime...

yep, Fenix needs to be updated... someone should tell Puck so he brings this into his new "Ultimate Fenix" version.

Yes, I'm currently working on it

that work looks great how accurate is the touchscreen though in fenix? I can't wait to be able to program touch screen capabilities to my fenix games... are you in any position to release your work ?

Will the touch screen act as a mouse (with mouse.left as the click and mosue.x and mouse.y as the coordinates) ?

Well, I would prefer to test it a bit yet (I'm thinking to add 4 reads instead of one), but if you know to code on Fenix I could send you this actual version to receive your feedback

Yes, that way

My game won't compile with the Ufenix build of FXC

Sigh, I guess no touchscreen for beta 4 then

Yes, you'll have also Fenix Beta5 with touch support, but the game I used to test it didn't work on that version

If you have something to try it on "old" Fenix, please, send it to me and I'll add the support to it

Do you mean send you my game for the old fenix and you will make it work on the new fenix? I just cannot get my game to compile with the new fenix, it just crashes the compiler.

No, I mean send me your game for the old fenix and I will test Fenix touchpad with it.

I only have Chipan's game to try touchad pad, but it doesn't work correctly on old fenix.

Alright. You want me to use the fenix mouse controls right? I assume when a click is made on the touchscreen a left mouse button click is generated, right?

Yes, you can access mouse.x, mouse.y and mouse.left, x and y are position and left = 1 if touch screen is pressed

Thanks

Cool, it's no problem to add as I enabled mouse support to debug on PC, just trying to find the newest build. My dev folder is messy and my version naming conventions aren't consistent. I'll have it ready in 5 minutes.

Edit: Just uploading to Mega Upload.

This is just quickly hacked in from my PC debug code so it won't let you use the touch screen on the menu yet but it should work in game, the old controls will also work in game without interferences. If you could tell me if it works that would be great.
