Mouse input
Pygame accesses the mouse clicks separately from the mouse position. You can create 2 variable to store each:
user_click = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
user_move = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
You can then have if statements to check the button clicked:
if user_click[0] == 1 :
print("left button clicked")
elif user_click[0] == 3 :
print("right button clicked")
You can use user_move as a vector or you can access the X or Y coordinate:
print(user_move[0]) # X coordinate
print(user_move[1]) # Y coordinate
print(user_move) # the vector of X & Y
Inside the event loop you can check for other events:
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
if event.button == 1: # left click
print("Left Click")
elif event.button == 3: # right click shrinks radius
print("Right Click")
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEMOTION:
# if mouse moved, get the position
print(event.pos)
