Touch control does not work, only mouse clicks are accepted about zerobot HOT 4 CLOSED

This code works well for the devices I could get hands on. Hope it helps!

	// Set the default
	touchable = true,
 	touches = []; // array of touch vectors;
 
	// TODO: quite fragile; find a better check for touch-ability as the Web standards evolve
	try {
		document.createEvent('TouchEvent'); }
	catch (err) {
		touchable = false;
	}

Is it really necessary to detect touch ability? Is there any harm by reacting both on mouse and touch events at the same time? If you have a touchscreen computer, you should be able to use both touches and mouse without switching anything.

OK, I've updated the html file. @oskar456 was right, it's not necessary to check for a touchscreen. Both sets of functions can be used simultaneously. So far I have tested the new code on Chrome(with touchscreen and mouse), Edge, Android, Chrome for Android and on iOS without any problems.
I also tried what @ilyabelkin suggested, but somehow it didn't work for me at all.
Thank you all for your help!

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention and for providing a fix. I haven't noticed any problems yet, mostly because I'm using Chrome on PC or iOS for testing, which still support the feature. I will definitely look into it.
