User Interaction using "Game Pieces"

[Bill]

I would like to create a game where the user interacts with individual
"game pieces" using processingjs.

Is it possible to manage drawn "game pieces" using user interaction
via mouse events: mouseX, mouseY, mouseButton, mousePressed,
mouseReleased, mouseMoved, mouseDragged? If so--could you suggest
steps to create a demo or a tutorial?

Thanks,
Bill

You can easily do it using the mouse events and location. If the shape
of your game pieces are defined by a polygon just
use the point-in-polygon (google for it) algorithm to check for a hit.

Hmm, but the code itself is obscured. I couldn't find it even with firebug
dom browsing. Got a link just to the code?

I'm gonna clean it first (it's REALLY crappy) and then put it on the
blog.

Nico,

What a great start! Is Dropbox a reliable way to host your
processingjs files? Seems to work great for hosting css files on
Tumblr.

Thanks for the preview,
Bill

www.hascanvas.com is the coolest, but has limitations (typo)
dropbox allows you more flexible settings

I really like this linking boxes thing, and think it should be usedon
the demos page of Processingjs when you think it's ready. Is that cool
with you?

Why not just post the direct link?

No need to be self conscious about the code. It works, it proves a concept and can be improved later.

Yep, no problems
