[QUOTE="an ox, post: 28359, member: 550"] Probably easier to do the touch/slide recognition by hand rather than rely on iOS gesture recognition to do it. Store the origin at touch down and nudge if the displacement from there goes above a set threshold before touch up. It wouldn't be a perfect solution because you'd always flip when you nudged, so nudging around non-activated flippers wouldn't be possible (you wouldn't want to wait to check for a displacement before deciding to flip or nudge, since that'd introduce a perceptible flipper lag). So any techniques requiring a nudge around dead flippers would be out, but it'd still allow for more nudging manoeuvres to be attempted than at present (at least for me; by the time I've thought I'd like to nudge and faffed about reaching for the nudge zone higher up on the ipad I've often drained anyway so I tend to play without nudging at all, which is definitely suboptimal). You could even leave the existing nudge zone active and still use that for dead flipper nudges if desired. It'd be nice to have slide-to-nudge as an option, anyway. [/QUOTE]
