DBP. Use left click (& hold) to position & move the text

+ Code Snippet

`may be useful for text positioning onscreen.
`otherwise, completely pointless, but rather fun...

tx=200
ty=200
set display mode 1024,768,32
set text opaque

do
cls
x=mousex()
y=mousey()
print "mouse click left for action"
print "right click & hold to see the new text position"
print "x:";x
print "y:";y
text tx,ty,"DB is Great!"
if mouseclick()=1 then gosub mover
if mouseclick()=2 then gosub tpos
loop

wait mouse
end

mover:
tx=x
ty=y
text x,y,"DB is Great!"
return

tpos:
text (x+20),y,"X:"+(str$(tx))+" Y:"+(str$(ty))
return

I have an XP3000+, 1.5gb DDR333, a 6600GT and I'm programming 3k text-based exe's?!

oook... maybe you need to code more serious than being lazy... if you are a noobie then you can find a tutorial on this website and can ask for help if needed.

Gnome that cast... AMAZING

I'm coding for fun!

If anyone wants to make use of it, then everyone's more than welcome.

I wouldn't exactly call myself a n00b to code (to programming, though, yes!), but, for the time being, I've got all the DB literature, I could possibly need, to help me gradually improve. There's no need to call anyone 'lazy'!

I'd certainly consider asking for help, if I ever get stuck on something. I can see memblocks & dlls looking quite tricky, but, whether I'll think so by the time I've learned everything else fully - that's another matter.

I hope you find the snippet useful, as it'll certainly help anyone, with a fast way to find coords for text positioning, onscreen.
