1. Mouse in text mode
Hi
I am working on using a mouse in text mode,but I have a problem in the
Lib doc rob says to scale down the cord for the get_mouse routine,but
how do you do this????????
I have looked at other people's work and still can not figure it out can
ay one help please.Thanks
Now for some input in to what could be done in Euphoria
1) some better help whould be nice,the lib doc file that comes with
EUPHORIA is not easy for beginners to understand it takes me about 5 6
hours to figure out what to do with 1 command.Examples could be better
too.
2) a better part and some more programs on sequence's and how to use
them I started to understand EUPHORIA when I finnally figured out how to
slice a seq and make a 1 dim 2 dim 3 dim sequence and then how to get
one pice out of all that.
Well thats about all that I have now thanks
David
P.S. I have started to get it now I have written about 4 programs now.

I believe the mouse returns the x and y position in pixels. Each character on
the DOS text screen is 8 pixels wide, so if the mouse sez you are at pixel
320, for example, you divide that by 8 and get 40, which would be the 40th.
character on the line. Same thing applies for the vertical, except the
characters are taller than they are wide, and you have to account for the
pixels between lines, as well. Maybe divide by 16?

I have attatched a small prog that should help.
simply move the mouse and read the sequence returned by get_mouse
(4th line down, "mouse event: {,,}")
you can also see the result in different text modes.
I think you divide both x and y by 8
I hope that helps
