Touch gives numbers from 0 to 1 about love-android HOT 5 CLOSED

This is intentional, partly because the touch API is designed to work on input devices which don't show the whole LÖVE window or don't even have a screen - a professional drawing tablet attached to a computer, for example.

When I use the touch API functions on my laptop, putting fingers on my trackpad triggers touch events, but it wouldn't make sense for it to use the window's coordinate system for the position in the touch event.

But this is for Android right? so it doesn't make much sense

Does the love.touch work on a computer? I don't really think so... I dont know but I would prefer to have the actual x and y.

The love.touch API is not designed to be Android-specific. It would be bad if it were, I really don't want fragmentation in the LÖVE APIs.

Does the love.touch work on a computer? I don't really think so...

If you compile the changes on your computer, yes it will work. My laptop's trackpad (Macbook Pro) can do 10+ finger multi-touch and the API works with it.

The love.touch API changes are designed to fit into mainline LÖVE, rather than just being nice for Android use.

Okey then it's fine, we just need to add this to the documentation and it will be fine

This is not a problem but a feature, it just needs to be documented
