Any experience with love.touchgestured?

Any experience with love.touchgestured? I need to detect swipe gesture in my game, so I decided to use love.touchgestured function.
But I couldn't find some good example from wiki, so I decided to find it out myself how this function work.
This is my code:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	str = ""
end

function love.touchgestured(x, y, theta, distance, touchcount)
	str = x ..":".. y ..":".. theta ..":".. distance ..":".. touchcount
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.print(str)
end

I launched it from my android phone, but no result, It seems to love.touchgestured didn't called by love itself, because str was empty string after screen was touched.
If someone have experience with love.touchgestured, please share! thanks.

The event is only triggered when multiple fingers are touching the screen.

You could use love.touchpressed / love.touchmoved / love.touchreleased etc. and detect the swipe by tracking the velocity (i.e. amount moved in a certain direction over a period of time) of the touch.
