So, here is the source for the Gesture Test I posted before.

As I said, it’s really simple, it’s not the best code but it gives you some ideas of how it’s made.

Inside the “tags” folder, I have three pngs for each shape (triangle, square and circle).
You draw the shape you want, I trim it, and compare to each png.
The comparisson is, get the drawn image, stretch it to the size of each png, and apply threshold. The BitmapData.threshold returns you an uint, the number of pixels that has been changed. With this number, divide it to the area of the png, and than, you choose the one that returns you tha smallest number.

and… that’s it. simple simple…

actually, it’s a technique used for some facial/object recognition softwares, but in a simplified way.
