If I were to make an app like this word finder game in Compose, what gesture detector would I need to use? As it stands I can get each letter using the onpress gesture detector , but I guess this is more of a swipe gesture. Is this possible in Compose or would I need to use a games engine? See picture in thread.

Modifier.pointerInput gives you access to all of the input events you'll need for this

This is what I am currently using:

.pointerInput(Unit) {
    detectTapGestures(
        onPress = { println(randomLetter)}
    )
},

it works but only for one letter at a time...

Check out how detectTapGestures is implemented, you can use awaitPointerInputScope to get individual down/move/up events during the different dispatch phases

Thanks, I will check that out! 😊
