We are currently investigating the potential use of a multi-touch
table (Microsoft Surface, etc.) to control StarCraft. Does anyone have
any idea if BWAPI offers such functionality (i.e., changing the input
device or input handling in StarCraft)? If not, is it something that
could be achieved through some other means (code injection using
ChaosLauncher, etc.)

I've seen on Youtube that some people have been able to do so by
creating a custom mouse/multi-touch driver (http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=ugjRzI8uHWI). However, I believe that this approach is too
restrictive as it does not seem to allow any complex multi-touch
gestures.

Thank you for your time and help

Depends what you want to do specifically. If BWAPI is missing
something then it shouldn't be difficult to add it.

You can use any standard input by obtaining the window handle and
sending window messages as well as other means(standard input includes
mouse/keyboard input), so if you could identify any non-standard input
that BWAPI doesn't already have and would be convenient for you then
we will consider adding it.
