Fastest Way to Begin and End a Touch

I appreciate the response, exile.

Unfortunately, the gauge can act unpredictably (stop moving altogether due to an event).

What I've been doing to go around this is picking a single pixel and monitoring its color with getColor() in a loop to tell when the orange fill reaches the pixel. Then, passes into a "cooldown" loop monitoring the same pixel to become unfilled.

I'll post the code here on my lunch break (I'm at work )

The nice thing about this is how stable the release point is (I hit the sweet spot every time), but because of the delay in calling a method every time the "touch" needs to be lifted or pressed, I don't hit that "sweet" spot many times. (about a .5s delay between hits or more).

The whole point of the game is to rapidly hit the sweet spot of the gauge without going over in order to fill a second gauge. (Not worrying about the second gauge yet... If I can't get this to work, it wouldn't be worthwhile.) I tried using manualTouch() to make a move set to toss in a few more clicks by the end of the gauge, but it seems to be to erratic in it's timing. (You can't hit the end of the gauge)


Like I said, I might be missing something. The abandoned trial program that I have is capable of rapidly hitting that sweet spot, but I can't use it because it's incomplete... There has to be something I'm not thinking of... But hey, that's why I enjoy coding. Never know what creative way you'll come up with to solve the problem
