javascript - When to use touchmove vs mousemove?

Question

I build a web mobile game, it runs on browsers (PC/Mobile).

Do I need to use the touchmove or not?

How can I run the touchmove event like the mousemove event?

Answer 1

For parity between desktop and touch you have the following equivalences:

mousedown === touchstart
mousemove === touchmove
mouseup === touchend

Thus if you handle mousedown, mousemove and mouseup then you don't need to handle the corresponding equivalent events under touch. The same handlers should be executing.
