Now unfortunately I didn't excel in math... but I am curious to know if there is a way to calculate the X and Y positions of the mouse based on the size of text font? The point of this would of course be an easier method for calculating the click space for the MOUSECLICK() command.

I know that the code would have to include how much mouseX and mouseY would have to increase or decrease in pixel distance with the size of the font but- my blond hair- has left be bewildered.

Anyone know of or can think of a way to do so?

I'm not sure if I really catch your drift, but you'd like to let the mouse increase and decrease based on larger pixels?

A good practice would be this routine, if the pixels in your font are 5x5 pixels in size:



In this way, you'll get a 'quantized' x / y coordinate for your mouse position.

Actually what I mean would include the text size, width, height and would be relative to the screen size (display mode) and mouseX, mouseY. Off the top of my head it would be something like:

SET DISPLAY MODE 1280,1024,32
MX=MOUSEX
MY=MOUSEY
CENTER TEXT 640,512,"woot!
--------------------------------------

Now I need to incorperate the size of the text, it's width and height and make them relative to the screen size as too- calculate how great or small the box around the text can be- to create a button. So we would need to include:

--------------------------------------
TS=Text Size
TW=Text Width
TH=Text Height
SW=Screen Width
SH=Screen Height
--------------------------------------

Now I need to come up with the math to make all of this come together. I need to create a formula that can be varying due to the screen size and font text size. I have no Idea how to do this but I imagine it would look something like this

---------------------------------------
SET DISPLAY MODE 1280,1024,32
MX=MOUSEX
MY=MOUSEY
TS=Text Size
TW=Text Width
TH=Text Height
SW=Screen Width
SH=Screen Height

CENTER TEXT 640,512,"woot!
---------------------------------------

What would the formula be?
I hope you understand me-
