Add multi-touch to your Windows Phone 7 app [Developers]

While there is still some time to go before the Windows Phone 7 hits the marketplace there are a growing number of developers starting to get a grasp on developing app for the new platform.

To help out on the whole multi-touch aspect of developing for the Windows Phone 7 platform Laurent Bunion has put together a couple of videos on using his multi-touch library in your development work.

The features that you can expect to see in the library are

  • Scale, Rotate, Translate are supported.
  • Possibility to show markers on the screen for demos/projections/videos.
  • Debug mode with addition on-screen information.
  • “Mock” mode for development without multitouch screen. Simulate fingers with just one mouse.
  • Enable/disable Scale, Rotate, Translate X and Y individually.
  • Constrain Scale with minimum and maximum value.

He is currently working on finishing it up and will make it available over on Codeplex but on to his videos.

The first video shows the highlights of his MultiTouch Behavior library

The second is more of a tutorial on how it can be used.
