I know this code is correct for the up arrow

Code: (up arrow) [Select]

function on.arrowUp
       --what to do goes here
end

Do I just replace the Up in on.arrowUp with whatever direction? and also: Does anyone here know what the Lua codes for detecting what happens with the touchpad, select button, and other keys?

Here is a list of all of the keys that can be "controlled" with Lua (notice on.charLn for non-arrow key characters)

Also, I think you might need a "()" after function.arrowUp (making it read "function.arrowUp()")

All the "basic questions" like this one are answered when looking at http://www.inspired-lua.org/ and http://wiki.inspired-lua.org/

So on.down(), on.up(), on.left(), and on.right() are for touchpad motions. Right?

~~wrong.~~
EDIT : oops sorry, wrong one. Yeah, so "probably". You can test.
EDIT2 : hum, there is neither "on.right()" nor "on.left", so I think it is for something else.

There is no specification between TouchPad and ClickPad, since the TouchPad invokes a mouse.

So it would go like this:

The mouse is already controlled by the touchpad, no need to program this.
on.mouseDown is when the mouse is clicked, it reports that it was clicked and at what coordinates it was clicked at. What is the syntax for on.mouseDown?

This question is part of the "Starting in Lua" tutoring part. I guess you should look at it before beginning a project (we haven't finished the EN part ... sorry)

To answer quickly : on.mouseDown(x, y)

Spyro543 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 05, 2011, 07:00:32 pm »

So on.mouseDown(n, m) will save the X coordinate to var n, Y coordinate to var m?

Or does it have to store to vars x and y?

Again ... you work in an evenmential environnement. Those questions are answered, please take the time to read everything.

May I have a simple and direct answer please? I've read tutorials, but only 2 in english.

Code: [Select]

function on.paint(gc)
 if mX and mY then
  gc:setPen("sansserif", "r", 18)
  gc:drawString("You pressed at ("..mx..", "..my..") coordinates", 0, 0, "top")
 end
end

function on.mouseDown(x, y)
 mX, mY = x, y
end

Levak, you forgot to invalidate the screen when mouseDown is triggered.

Code: (Lua) [Select]

function on.mouseDown(x, y)
 mX, mY = x, y
 platform.window:invalidate()
end
