I am having trouble understanding how to create a clickable button that can be clicked with a mouse. Although I've looked at some posts about it, I'm still confused. Could someone please explain to me a clear explanation?
I'm not sure if my explanation makes sense, but using a table like an object-oriented class will save you time and effort.
This "pseudo-class" remembers the button positions and text, and has an update "method" that reacts when the mouse enters or the button is pressed.
In _init() I created two buttons in a new table using the "pseudo-class".
In _draw() I call the update method for each button.
Give it a try :)
You should look into the gui library that comes built into picotron!
Since I cannot judge your programming proficiency, I will give you a brief description.
If you have difficulty with the objective, try to break down what you are creating.
- Obtain mouse input.
- Use
mouse()to get the x/y of the coordinates, and the state of the button.
- Use
- Determine that you clicked.
- use
print()to check the button status
- use
- Create the area of the button.
- For the rectangle used in picotron, it may be useful to have variables for the Start x/y and End x/y coordinates to draw and determine the button's state.
- Draw the button.
- Use the
rect()function.
- Use the
If you can create these one by one, you are pretty close to what you want.

Check the manual for details on how to use the functions.
Since picotron is still in alpha version, you may encounter specification changes or unstable situations.
Nevertheless, I am enjoying this world.
Thank you everyone. I am now closer to understanding Picotron.
