We can get the mouse position with pygame.mouse.get_pos()
import pygame,sys
from pygame.locals import*
pygame.init()
screen=pygame.display.set_mode((400,400))
game_running=True
while game_running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type==QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
mouse_position=pygame.mouse.get_pos()
print(mouse_position)
pygame.display.update()
Run this code and hover your mouse on the pygame window. This will print mouse position.
We can me this interesting by moving a rectangle based on the mouse position.
We just have to know the mouse position in the coordinate ( x,y)
In the previous program print(mouse_postion) shows the tuble value
so we can get the x, y value by
mouse_position=pygame.mouse.get_pos()
x,y=mouse_positionAs we get the x,y value it will be easy to apply in the next example
import pygame,sys
from pygame.locals import*
pygame.init()
screen=pygame.display.set_mode((400,400))
game_running=True
while game_running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type==QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
mouse_position=pygame.mouse.get_pos()
x,y=mouse_position
screen.fill((255,255,255))
pygame.draw.rect(screen,(100,100,100),(x,y,60,40),5) #rect(surface,color,(x,y,height,width)
print(mouse_position)
pygame.display.update()
Run this code you will find that rectangle is attach to the mouse position
