[chuck-users] Reactable

[Mark Cerqueira]

Andrew,
For my final project in PLOrk last semester I wrote a ChucK class to  
interface with the iPhone app OSCemote. The multitouch portion of  
OSCemote implements TUIO and I included that data in the OSCemote.ck  
class I wrote. The "The Internals" section goes over how I got TUIO to  
"work" in ChucK. It may need some tweaking, but it's a start at  
getting TUIO right in ChucK. The link to the wiki page on the project  
is:

Best,
Mark
