DS development > just thought of something

if it may be possible to detect pressure differently on seperate sides of the screen, is it possible to have a program where you place two fingers on the screen, one on each side, applying different pressures to each and possibly incorperate into some sort of balancing game where you can adjust the weight on one side of the object by pressing harder on that side of the screen?

sounds kind of cool, but maybe i have the wrong concept.

DS doesn't have multitouch in the same sense as the iPhone. If you press harder on one side than on the other, it will show up as the touch coordinate being closer to that side.

You can test and see this behavior in Pictochat.
