Here it is, Swingers, my new gestures lib, 0.6.0 (and probably works on 0.5.0 as well), enjoy everybody!
Also, it's MIT/X11 now.
Interface (in table "swingers"):
- start(button) - 'starts' the subsystem, the button argument is the trigger button
- checkError() - old, no longer used, but may be recommissioned
- checkGesture() - check if there's a new gesture (ALWAYS do this before getting one, the getters aren't error-checked)
- getGesture() - get a gesture string, uses, u for up, d for down, l for left, r for right, so rdul is right, down, up, left
- getExtGesture() - gets an extended gesture table, contains n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, so {"e", "s", "n", "l"} would be the same as above
- update() - call this every frame, does all the magic

Original post
----
Just today (about 1,5 hours ago) I felt like creating a gestures lib, well.. here it is. I've created a small tech demo for you guys, as of now I retain full copyright and I compiled the lib itself.
Before I get people complaining: This was because I wanted to get a demo out, the lib itself isn't ready for release yet.
Anyway, enjoy!
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: 0.6.0 (EDIT: because it relies on some 0.6.0 features that can't be reproduced in 0.5.0)

I got several complaints about errors in the package, so here one without the compiled file, I still own full copyright though!
EDIT: pulled, it turned out to be some hardware-specific problems

Heh, any talk of having MULTI-gesture support in LÖVE?.
Nooooooooooo! Bytecode! Now I'll never know if any gestures are hiding.

What?! The lib only passes what gesture has been used, it doesn't contain any gestures itself. And MULTI-gesture? Like multi-touch? There is only one mouse..

Can't... resist...
Innuendo... too... easy...
In other news:
I like the lib, especially that it recognises LRL, DLU and things like that. But full copyright? Bytecode? This is outrageous! I will file a complaint against you at the Society Againts Repressive Code Aggression Scare Mongering! (You might have heard of its acronym.)

WARNING! THREAD HIJACK
You can have multiple mice on Windows 7.

And multi-touch interfaces
But I understand the cross platform-ness of this wouldn't be all there.
THREAD RERAIL
I also like how the library keeps track of multiple movement directions in one click>release.

Take a break with your <spoiler>SARCASM</spoiler>, I will release it once it's ready.

Well, yes, that's basically what it does, it is for the program to interpret those commands. Actually, you might have noticed that it returns a table with the directions, and the demo just uses table.concat to display it.
About the cross-platformness: I just found out that the code itself isn't cross-platform, so I'm going to have to create some checks, and if it fails make some stubs to just disable the gestures automagically.

Sarcasm is how I roll. 8-)
Also, a feature request: to be able to to process diagonal actions, like ur, or dl, so you can make it recognize V-shapes etc.
If you don't want to implement it, please let me.

Did you notice that ul is the same as up then left? And you can just make a u, getting nitpicky?

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear... again. I meant ul, not u l.
ASCII art (sarcasm, again):
instead of:
So we can do: / \ V W > < ^ etc.
And as I said before: I'd be happy to implement it if you don't want to (just give me the source
)
