okey. i'll be waiting for multitouch function. love your game engine! 👍

parent.addEventListener('touchmove', function(event) {    
    
    // finger 1
    let x1 = event.touches[0].clientX;
    let y1 = event.touches[0].clientY;
    
    // second finger
    let x2 = event.touches[1].clientX;
    let y2 = event.touches[1].clientY;
});
