Why isn't this a thing yet? It's already hard coded in the the graphics screen to hide the title bar, yet we still don't have access to that function ;(

Yeah that would be nice. But with Multitouch support should also multithreading support come.

I remember that post, but your script doesn't enable full Multithreading. Your Script just changes the order of the call, so it looks like there are 2 threads. Great work by the way  So but when you want to use sys.input, then this will block the script and your multithreading will stop working. We are searching for a multithreading, which allows us to use blocking-functions without blocking Kind Regards Lars |

I'll admit though, a way to run things as the user provides input would help tremendously. |

From multi-touch to multithreading xD
For the multi-touch, provide additional parameters for touchbegan() etc.
I think that'd work nicely.
As soon as multi-touch is out I wanna try making a twin stick shooter.

Well Codea implements it by giving each touch an ID Perhaps the touch began etc functions should take a function, and not only pass x/y but also an ID to identify it from other simultaneous touches. |

This allows us to identify each touch from the others, and register multiple touches. |

Future release will support multi touch.
Touch Lua already supports multi threading. If you think its not please prove it to me in order to fix the issue.

Reading and writing to console blocks lua.you can't do it. But you should be able to make two (or more) printing threads. What you are asking for is read input with timeout.
