Kazari is a touch gesture input library.
To start, clone the repository. Say you're in your current project directory (directory where main.lua
reside), run:
git clone https://github.com/MikuAuahDark/Kazari libs/kazari
You can change libs/kazari
to libs/hanachirusato
or anywhere else as long as you remember what name to use in require
later.
To load the library, use require
:
local kazari = require("libs.kazari")
These functions are available in Kazari 1.0.0.
This is pseudo-type that can be used to limit where the touch gesture operates on.
This pseudo-type accept one of these:
nil
, which means touch is unbounded.- Array of numbers in order:
{x position, y position, width, height}
- Key-value pairs with these structure:
{x = x position, y = y position, w = width, h = height}
- NLay's
BaseConstraint
type
Check if object
is an instance of class
where class
inherits BaseGesture
.
Returns: is object
an instance of class
?
Example:
-- Check if object is an instance of BaseGesture
print(kazari.is(object, kazari.BaseGesture))
The BaseGesture
class. All gesture object inherit this class.
Send touch pressed event to the gesture. In LÖVE environment, this function should be called in
love.touchpressed
with their arguments passed accordingly.
Class that derive BaseGesture
may contain constraint
as their constructor parameter. It's responsible to ensure
that only touches at those areas defined by constraint
are consumed.
Returns: Is the event consumed?
Send touch moved event to the gesture. In LÖVE environment, this function should be called in
love.touchmoved
with their arguments passed accordingly.
Send touch released event to the gesture. In LÖVE environment, this function should be called in
love.touchreleased
with their arguments passed accordingly.
The ZoomGesture
class. This gesture class is responsible of performing pinch zoom using 2 fingers.
Calling this function creates ZoomGesture
instance which is derived from BaseGesture
.
Setting clip
to true
restrict each finger movement to the area bounded by constraint
.
Register function func
to be called everytime the zoom ratio is updated, additionally passing
context
as the 1st parameter.
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context, number scale, number midX, number midY)
Where scale
always starts at 1 first then increase or decrease based on the finger movement. midX
and midY
are middle point of the touch position.
Same as above but called when pinch zoom gesture is completed (user lifting their finger).
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context, number scale)
Where scale
is the final scale ratio relative to the first time this gesture is performed.
The RotateGesture
class. This gesture class is responsible of performing 2-finger rotate gesture.
Calling this function creates RotateGesture
instance which is derived from BaseGesture
.
Register function func
to be called everytime the angle is updated, additionally passing
context
as the 1st parameter.
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context, number angle, number da)
Where angle
always starts at 0 first then increase or decrease based on the finger movement. angle
range can go above 2 * math.pi
(1 turn clockwise) or below -2 * math.pi
(1 turn counter-clockwise).
da
is angle difference between last angle update. Positive value means clockwise rotation, negative value
means counter-clockwise rotation.
Same as above but called when rotate gesture is completed (user lifting their finger) and passes
the final value (with the da
parameter being nil
).
kazari.PanGesture(number minfingers, number maxfingers = minfingers boolean clip = false, Constraint constraint = nil)
The PanGesture
class. This gesture class is responsible of reporting x and y movement from minfingers
finger(s) (1 included) to mzxfingers
finger(s) (1 included). Calling this function creates PanGesture
instance which is derived from BaseGesture
.
Notes:
minfingers
must be at least 1.maxfingers
must be at leastminfingers
(default).clip
clips the position of each finger instead of the average.
Register function func
to be called everytime the average position is updated, additionally passing
context
as the 1st parameter.
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context, number x, number y, number dx, number dy, number pressure)
Where x
, y
are the relative position of the movement and pressure
are the average pressure across fingers.
Note that on pressure-insensitive touchscreens, pressure
will be always 1. dx
and dy
are position differences
from previous call of this function.
Register function func
to be called when user lifting their finger and the amount of fingers registered are less
than minfingers
.
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context, number x, number y, number pressure)
Where x
, y
are the final relative position of the movement and pressure
are the average pressure across fingers.
Note that on pressure-insensitive touchscreens, pressure
will be always 1.
Returns amount of fingers currently the user has in their screen (depends on the :touch*
method calls). Returns
value from 0 inclusive to maxfingers
inclusive.
kazari.TapGesture(number nfingers, number moveThreshold = 32, number altDuration = 0, Constraint constraint = nil)
The TapGesture
class. This gesture class is responsible of sending "tap" event with at least nfingers
finger(s) (1 included), additionally with option to have "alternative" tap (usually mapped to "right click") when
user holds their finger(s) for at least altDuration
time units. altDuration
of 0 means the "alternative" tap
is disabled. moveThreshold
is the maximum distance unit the user finger can move before the tap is cancelled.
Calling this function creates TapGesture
instance which is derived from BaseGesture
.
The definition of time unit depends entirely on the units of delta time passed in :update
function. If user
treat the delta time as milliseconds, then the time unit is in milliseconds.
The definition of distance unit depends entirely on the user. Distance units may be in virtual resolution or in pixels, as long as it is a unit that define distance on screen.
Update the tap gesture for alternate tap. In LÖVE environment, this function should be called in
love.update
with their arguments passed accordingly.
Note that it's okay not to call this function if altDuration
is set to 0 (where alternate tap events is disabled).
Register function func
to be called when a tap is initiated, additionally passing context
as the 1st parameter.
"Tap" is initiated when at least nfingers
finger(s) are in the bound defined by constraint
, not moving at all.
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context)
Register function func
to be called when a tap is cancelled, additionally passing context
as the 1st parameter.
"Tap" is cancelled when the average position of the fingers moves more than moveThreshold
distance units.
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context, number duration)
Where duration
is how long user fingers was on the screen before it was cancelled, in time units.
Register function func
to be called when a tap is successfully initiated, additionally passing context
as the
1st parameter.
"Tap" is considered success when the average position of the finger moves less than moveThreshold
distance units
and then user release one or more of their finger(s).
The function signature for func
must follow this convention:
void func(any context, boolean alternate, number duration)
Where alternate
is true
if duration
is longer than or equal to altDuration
(except where altDuration
is
0, alternate
will always be false
) and duration
is how long user fingers was on the screen before the user
releases one or more of their finger(s) on the screen, in time units.
