what was there when I pressed the button?

Post by needhelp911 »

I have to make this game, but I dont know how to make my computer know what image I just clicked.
My game is a puzzel, where as time goes by my images change their actual position with another, the bassically chance their places.
p.s- sprry about my english, I dont speak a lot

Just save the positions of the images, along with the positions of all the edges, and on click search if the click happened between the edges of a picture, if not try the next one etc.

There are better ways than a simple loop for every image but you can optimize later, it works for a prototype.

Are your images rectangular? Than it's easy as:

Code: Select all

function love.mousepressed(x, y, button, istouch)
	if button == 1 then -- Left mouse button pressed
		for index, image in ipairs(image_table) do
	    	if x > image.x and y > image.y and x < image.x + image.width and y < image.y + image.height then
	    		image.selected = true
    		end
		end
	end
end
Where image_table would look like:

Code: Select all

image_table = {
	{x = 10, y = 20, width = 100, height = 50, selected = false},
	{x = 50, y = 4, width = 600, height = 130, selected = false},
	{x = 300, y = 80, width = 200, height = 400, selected = false}
}
