# Caress Client#

*Caress Client* is a JavaScript library that converts [TUIO](http://www.tuio.org) events to native browser touches as proposed by the [W3C Touch Events version 2](http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/raw-file/tip/touchevents.html).

### Background ###
Thus far touch events have mainly only been supported on some mobile browsers. Firefox (as of version 4) is an exception in the desktop department and supports a mode where you can enable touch support (however it is a bit of a secret). Chrome's emulation of touch support, frankly just doesn't work.

For most of us this doesn't really cut it. I want multi-touch support on my desktop dammit! And across all browsers! This is what the aim of this library is. Using Caress Client + [Caress Server](https://github.com/ekryski/caress-server/) + some hardware that spits out TUIO, you too can have multi-touch support in your browser!

## Getting Started

### Client
You need to include a few client side libraries in your html file. They are:

Then just add the code below and start binding regular touch events at will:

### Server
Grab the [Caress Server](https://github.com/ekryski/caress-server/) and follow the instructions on the README.

## Examples
* Option A: _See the [examples](https://github.com/ekryski/Caress/tree/master/examples) folder_
* Option B:
    * Download or clone the repo
    * `cd caress-client`
    * `npm install`
    * `npm start`
    * Go to `http://localhost:5000/`
    * Start up your TUIO device with port 3333 and play with the examples!

## Contributing
I am open to pull requests but make sure you include unit tests with your code.
