* of the press.
*
* Coordinates in X and Y are reported as:
* [-0x7fff, 0x7fff]: -0x7fff corresponds to the far left/top of the screen,
* and 0x7fff corresponds to the far right/bottom of the screen.
* The "screen" is here defined as area that is passed to the frontend and
* later displayed on the monitor.
*
* The frontend is free to scale/resize this screen as it sees fit, however,
* (X, Y) = (-0x7fff, -0x7fff) will correspond to the top-left pixel of the
* game image, etc.
*
* To check if the pointer coordinates are valid (e.g. a touch display
* actually being touched), PRESSED returns 1 or 0.
*
* If using a mouse on a desktop, PRESSED will usually correspond to the
* left mouse button, but this is a frontend decision.
* PRESSED will only return 1 if the pointer is inside the game screen.
*
* For multi-touch, the index variable can be used to successively query
* more presses.
* If index = 0 returns true for _PRESSED, coordinates can be extracted
* with _X, _Y for index = 0. One can then query _PRESSED, _X, _Y with
* index = 1, and so on.
* Eventually _PRESSED will return false for an index. No further presses

* support. A categorized option will be shown in a subsection/
