Design Team/Activity Touch Input

Turtle Art

  • Canvas zooming in/out with pinch gesture
Right now, there is no canvas zooming at all... just block zooming.
  • Canvas scrolling when dragging canvas
Will experiment with that one for v138
  • Default to large blocks when used on a touch device to reduce obscuring effect of fingers & improve hit target. Perhaps extend the block shapes to have an otherwise blank 'gripper/ridged' area to the left or right
What is the purpose of the gripper?
  • Portrait orientation clips too many toolbar icons (expect portrait orientation to be used much more frequently on tablet devices)
As of v137, there is a scroll mechanism for clipped palettes...
  • Toolbar hover hints clobbering view of block palettes (due to touch activation leaving pointer over toolbar buttons )
These can be turned off and could be by default.
  • Allow escaping from full screen mode (see Read for improved behaviour)
