Powder Toy for touchscreens

    I really love TPT but i find it is missing touch capability... i try to use it with a windows 8 touch screen device and it works except it is hard to select two elements at the same time because of the right click... Could you guy's make a version specially made for touch devices?

    This is a good idea in itself, but maybe have a touch screen compatibility option in the settings as opposed to a different download

    We were thinking about a new interface for things like touch screen / android, but I don't know if it will ever get done, since porting tpt to android would be a lot of work and I don't see it being attempted anytime soon.

    TPT is designed for computers / keyboards now, I guess you will just have to use that.

    Ew, Windows 8.

    But ontop of that technology is unfortunatly going to Android/IoS and whatnot, may be worth the effort, it'll bring in more people if growth is a concern.

    i do use my mouse/ keyboard but sometimes like to use the touchscreen...
    TPT actually works on touchscreen windows 8 devices but the interface needs to be optimized

    This is not the forum to share your opinion about other things than TPT.

    That is true.

    I too agree. I have a windows 8 Laptop. It is a touchscreen. It would be great if there is a touchscreen version. This game would be 'Fantastische'. Translation : Fantastic.

     You could also buy a usb mouse and plug it in. And thats not a laptop, it's an oversized tablet.

    How can you say for sure?
    Many Win8 laptops are touchscreen, and at the same time fully laptop, not like a laptop-tablet hybrid.
    Mine is not touchcreen, but the touchpad has a hoarde of special tricks and stuff so you never have to use the 2 default touchpad buttons, making it feel almost like a touchscreen(Only difference is that you don't actually touch the screen.)

    It appears tha this thread is degenerating into a windows 8-bashing thread... perhaps a lock is in order?
