added *touchpad rumble* - maps the controller rumble to macbook haptics. it feels absolutely incredible.
two finger as aim-down-sights, still being able to click to shoot.
highly tunable click and aim curves.
programmable multitouch and force touch (deep click) behaviors.
wired direct to game.

HomeView: Is there a simulator?
What web features are/aren’t available? e.g…
Multitouch gestures?
<input type=file> photo uploads?
UserMedia camera/mic access?
LocalStorage? Any 7 day limits etc?
Can a user add a site to a home screen ?
Push notifications?
Can it “save” a file download?
Thank you!

On Vivaldi mobile (chrome-like, so probably others too), multitouch doesnt work/all overlapping taps get canceled.

Steve Jobs war ein großer Fan von Multitouch. Sonst hätte es nie ein iPhone oder ein iPad gegeben. Doch an einem Gerät wollte er keinen Touchscreen: am Mac.

Designing Mac apps for touch and multitouch
Via Jeff Nadeau on Mastodon, Apple has posted three videos detailing how apps can support touch interactions on the new MacBook Pro. First, it’s Cas Lemmens discussing designing for touch on macOS: Then, Raleigh Ledet details how developers can bring touch to their macOS apps: And finally, Jonathan Tilley shows off the Live Activities interface, which appears on other Macs in the menu bar, but appears in the Dynamic Island on the new MacBook Pros. While adding touch to macOS hasn’t radically changed the interface, there are definitely some different wrinkles Apple has added to make the touch experience better.

oh no sorry, apparently it was very difficult to make the touchscreen macbook, a device that apple has prototyped in various forms for over a decade, because it was very hard to make a multitouch version of AppKit, a thing that already exists for iOS
please ignore all of my past and future […]

Apple is pivoting to touchscreen laptops. John Ternus teased the upcoming 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, featuring vibrant OLED multitouch screens and an interactive Dynamic Island. The hardware arrives with 2,899 dollars as the entry price following the Los Angeles showcase.

capacitive multitouch was so influential that google instantly shit themselves internally and reworked android from a clone of blackberry’s hardware and software* into a clone of the original iphone’s hardware and software
if you can’t tell the difference between that and a gimmick to the point […]

Anyways Idk the solution to the touchscreen button breaking problem since I'd have to identify the causes. If it's a multitouch thing, maybe they'd have to update the block/dodge button to be a toggle? Or make new buttons? Lotta actions require simultaneous inputs. Kinda predicted it may be an issue
