gollark: Consider, however: This iterates over the changed touches as well, but it looks in our cached touch information array for the previous information about each touch to determine the starting point for each touch's new line segment to be drawn. This is done by looking at each touch's Touch.identifier property. This property is a unique integer for each touch and remains consistent for each event during the duration of each finger's contact with the surface.
gollark: If there is I haven't seen it.
gollark: ARM is CISC now, however.
gollark: Essentially, stop doing all things.
gollark: Oh, this is the same.
