      I think the easiest way is the control the length of event.allTouches array. If it is 2, then exactly 2 fingers is touching the screen.
      local function onTouchesBegin(event)
  local isTwoFinger = (#event.allTouches == 2)
end
      Btw, did you check Touch Explorer example? It can be very informative.

      i also checked the api documentation but no info on the array event.allTouches or event.touches

      wow! my first gideros game is almost finished!

      You're welcome :)

      Yes, the reference manual doesn't contain information about events. But you can refer here: http://www.giderosmobile.com/documentation/events.html

      thanks atilim,
      for you help

      but i think that gideros need a bit more "in deep" docs because without your help i never figured the existence of event.allTouches


      ciao ciao

      I cannot agree more. We'll start working on a more organized documentation after the next release.
