    @ar2rsawseen I understand that you don't have enough time for it, I believe that would largely benefit new users to have access to that swipe class (for a start, with a lot of others :) ).

    I didn't understand how to implement @adispose 's code.
    self.onFlingY(self.parent, self.lastX - event.touch.x, self.startY - event.touch.y)
    Where is self.onFlingY defined?
    It is given as a parameter to the class constructor but where is it defined?
    (I am not asking you to answer)

    Also in the following :
    function SwypeDetector:doScroll(event)
    	if onScroll ~= nil then
    (...)
    Shouldn't it be
    if self.onScroll
    ?
    To my understanding, onScroll is not in the scope of function SwypeDetector:doScroll(event).

    Also
    function SwypeDetector:doScroll(event)
    	if *onScroll* ~= nil then
    		self.*onFlingY*(self.parent, self.lastX - event.touch.x, self.startY - event.touch.y)
    	end
    end
    shouldn't be :
    function SwypeDetector:doScroll(event)
    	if *self.onScroll* ~= nil then
    		self.*onScroll*(self.parent, self.lastX - event.touch.x, self.startY - event.touch.y)
    	end
    end
    ?

    I didn't ask you about this because I know you don't have time to support someone else's code, and I thought it would take me even more time to understand if there are mistakes or I am misunderstanding.
    Nobody's been reporting mistakes, so maybe it's me.

    I will try @Tom2012 's one.

    Here is a version that I have built on top of different sources shared on the forum, and I have added several tricks that make it easy for me to customize my apps.

    I have tried to comment the code, for what it's worth.

    How to use :

    		- minDistance (int : default -> 100). The minimum distance to take swipes into consideration.
    		- maxDuration (float : default -> 0.5). The maximum duration to take swipes into consideration.
    ]]--
    local options = {minDistance = 100, maxDuration = 0.5}
    local gestures = Gestures.new(stage, options)

    Wow great, also most probably we need a lib for basic gesture events like long tap and double clicks etc
    which I will need to try my hand on :)
