Simple drawing app on touch screen

Has anyone tried getting this to work on touch devices. So far I've hooked up touchPunch, tried preventing user scrolling and the mobile browser's select behaviors, I've also prevented the mobile browser scroll behaviors and set the screen user scalable to false. But the canvas doesn't respond to any touch events.

anyone out there had any luck?

If you are testing the app in your browser then you should emulate the application with any mobile device option.

Check out the Chrome DevTools documentation: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/mobile-emulation

Thanks Rodrigo, at the moment I'm testing mobile compatibility by using my ipad while traveling for work. Safari and chrome for iOs are a pain in the... umm, neck for testing code changes in websites. I'll check out the mobile emulation when I get home.
