Anybody have a Mouse Demo for Mouse.spin from the OBEX?

ElectricAye

Hi everyone,

I've been looking over Mouse.spin and dreaming big dreams of actually using it someday. It's not, however, intuitively obvious to me how to implement most of its methods. The lack of comments, too, makes it fun to gaze at for hours upon hours... like listening to dolphin squeaks and trying to guess what they're saying to each other. Anybody know if there's a nice Demo for this software? or maybe have something that is Demo-esque?

many thanks,
Mark

Look for program -- Pc_interface on obex. Has nice program with mouse to proterminal, colors and draws lines and boxes with the mouse.

The PC_Interface is not in the Obex, it is part of the PropTerminal:

The Graphics-Demo and Graphics_Palette uses the mouse, and show how to use the delta methodes.

Here is simple demo with the absolute methodes:

{{ Mouse Demo }}

CON
  _clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
  _xinfreq = 5_000_000

OBJ
  ms     :       "Mouse"
  TV     :       "TV_Text"      'or VGA_Text with Basepin 16
  
PUB Main | b

  'start the terminal
  TV.start(12)                  '<-- TV Basepin
 
  'start the mouse
  ms.start(24, 25)

  repeat
      'show mouse state
      TV.out(1)                 'Home
      TV.out("B")
      TV.out(":")
      TV.dec(ms.buttons)
      TV.out(" ")
      TV.out("X")
      TV.out(":")
      TV.dec(ms.abs_x)
      TV.out(" ")
      TV.out("Y")
      TV.out(":")
      TV.dec(ms.abs_y)
      TV.out(" ")
      TV.out("Z")
      TV.out(":")
      TV.dec(ms.abs_z)
      TV.out(" ")
      TV.out(" ")

      waitcnt(clkfreq/10 + cnt)

Thanks, Andy, and mosquito,

I'll give this code a try. I greatly appreciate your posting this code.

Andy,
thank you! thank you!
This is exactly the kind of simple code I needed to get started with this. I got it working and I can't tell you how happy you've made my morning!
