Well, I went to the Flash On The Beach for the first time this year. Was really cool and inspiring.

The first night, I had some inspiration, nothing to deal to any of the presentations I saw, but just something that I wanted to test. I couldn’t upload it because I didn’t have internet at the hotel, and at the venue the firewall was blocking me to connect to my FTP.

So, what was my experiment this time?
Gesture!
I think it’s working quite nice for a code I took less than an hour to write. It was much easier than I thought.

Just click and try to draw a Triangle, Circle or Square.

Enjoy!
I’ll post the source code later… let me take a nap now.

As promissed, here is the presentation I made at LFPUG in PDF format.

And the source files zipped with the demos I showed.
