Cool little game. I ended up spamming the starting spell because it was very efficient, lol.

What method did you use for the gesture system? I'm using one from a plugin for my current game, but it has problems detecting differences between similar shapes.

Hey, I used my own implemention of the $1 algorithm, described here:

You can find the relevant source code here:

But I know multiple existing plugins have the implementation of these algorithm as well:

Hope that helps!

Huh, I think it's exactly the one from the plugin I use. I'll need to make more accurate samples then. Thanks for the info!

It might also help that you can add multiple samples for the same shape!

To me that was not straightforward at all when I was playing with it, but it works really well.
