CCGestureRecognizer

CCGestureRecognizer is an abstract base class for gesture recognizer classes.

The subclasses of CCGestureRecognizer are the following:

• CCTapGestureRecognizer
• CCPinchGestureRecognizer
• CCSwipeGestureRecognizer
• CCPanGestureRecognizer
• CCLongPressGestureRecognizer

Recognizing gestures on specific nodes

The frame of the CCNode object (CCSprite, CCLayer, etc.) on which a gesture recognizer is added that's the space where the gesture recognizer is available. So if you add a gesture recognizer on a "screen-size" CCLayer you will be able to recognize the gesture everywhere on the screen. This is a great feature when you need to recognize gestures on specific parts of the screen.

Setting the target

When a gesture is recognized, your specified method gets called. You can set the method which you want to be called by the following way:

swipe->setTarget(this, callfuncO_selector(HelloWorld::didSwipe));
