GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 724832
Swell Foop is unplayable on a tablet (cannot remove blocks)
Last modified: 2014-03-27 21:07:19 UTC
On a pure touchscreen device (tablet), it seems impossible to play swell-foop. Tapping on a block set is interpreted as moving the mouse over it - it is highlighted. Neither a long-press nor a double-tap (or triple or quad or quintuple tap...) will actually remove the block group. So, you're stuck. It also runs in a small window by default. Games especially should probably run nice and big and full-screen.
Could you please also check Lights Off and file a bug against that if it has a similar problem?
I'm aiming to work through as many of the games as I can, if I'm not distracted by a shiny object in the mean time. Only got four other things I'm working on :/
Thanks! (I asked about Lights Off specifically because it is the only other game that both uses Clutter and requires mouse clicks.)
Yup, Lights Off has the same problem. Will file.

I think I may have fixed that in lightsoff. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724850 https://git.gnome.org/browse/lightsoff/commit/?id=21dbfb7fdc3372d56a624ce1ff7de6c9527eaa5b If that were working, that same fix could be employed in Swell Foop as well.
I employed the same fix here and it is now in master. I can't spot any regression. If this could be tested by someone with a suitable device (Adam?), that would be great. Mario
Will check today, thanks.
Fix confirmed on fedlet, still works fine with a mouse on desktop.
That is great. Thank you. I will bring the fix 3.12 as well and consider the issue closed. In the future, I hope, we remember to not break games in that particular way. Thanks Adam for your help.
